On the web

Christina Vantzou is an artist/designer/musician based in Brussels. Over the past decade Christina has developed a unique and distinctive esthetic in motion graphics design, animation, video and most recently, sound. Her self-taught style is delicate, sophisticated in it’s simplicity, and lulls the viewer into a strange and beautiful world. Christina honed her skills with The Dead Texan, in collaboration with Sparklehorse, and with commissions from Interpol, Tokion magazine, Mtv, Christopher Willits, and Fovea Hex. Christina’s live set consist of ambient tones and drawn out instrumental samples cut and assembled digitally with warm hints of piano, distant strings, and abstract vocals against a backdrop of multi-channel video. With a background in Fine Art, Christina’s visual style reflects her interest in illustration, graphic design, film, & printmaking. Her live projections combine carefully selected found footage with original footage and glacially paced animations ranging from figurative to abstract. Somehow it all holds together with the magical glue of her spacious, somberly angelic sounds.
