As a student of alla prima masters like Max Ginsburg, Cintija practices the direct “wet-on-wet” painting technique, which requires high concentration, technical confidence, and the ability to make artistic decisions in the moment. This method allows for freshness, spontaneity, and liveliness—qualities that are especially evident in her animal portraits, where capturing a fleeting expression, movement, or atmosphere is essential.— Squarespace
