artist bio.










Christina Sicoli is a multidisciplinary creator, blending her background in abstract art with over 25 years of performance experience as a movement teacher and actress. A graduate of The Randolph Academy for the Arts, she thrives in both the visual arts and film/TV industries, known for her distinct, playful aesthetic. Her work has been featured in the Vancouver Sun, Canvas Rebel Magazine, helloart, and select boutiques, including Ollie Quinn, One of A Few, Nouvelle Nouvelle, and KOU Studios. Christina’s commissioned pieces appear in private and corporate collections, as well as on network shows such as Good Trouble (Hulu), Jingle Around the Clock (Hallmark), and Conversations With My 2-Year-Old (CocoMilk Productions).

My work spans small- to large-scale pieces, built on a neutral base palette layered with mixed media, vibrant textures, and splashes of neon. I start with muted foundations and add drawn markings—fine lines and doodles that echo a lifelong love of sketching. I’m drawn to the unconventional: oddities, asymmetry, and irregular forms, all filtered through a lens of playful exploration.

Thick and transparent layers allow underpaintings and intentional textures to peek through. Washes help diffuse or amplify colors, creating work that can feel delicate or complex, depending on where the process leads. My goal is always to surprise myself—experimenting, evolving, and storytelling through abstraction.

With a background in performance and movement, I bring physicality and imagination to the canvas. For me, painting is a space to embody characters and explore identity. Whether on stage, screen, or canvas, I create with a sense of P L A Y.

The artist paints. The actress plays. Sometimes, they forget who's who.
