Discipline & ANARCHY: Christó Mosca

 
 

Christó Mosca was born in Lecce in southern Italy. The sea inspired her freedom from an early age, and the horizon was never a limit! She started to dedicate her time to art, finding it to be an exploratory tool in music, performance, painting, and photography. Her talent emerged at the age of 17, when she started her studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Lecce. She left Lecce after graduation, conducting research on love and human sexual behavior and continuing her art in journals. She pursued photography in New York City, then finished her studies at the London College of Fashion. Since completing her studies, she works between Paris and London. Currently, France is her primary stomping ground for research and projects.
