Swedish painter, sculptor and Batik artist Christina Kajtorp today (14 June) opened a solo show of some of her acrylic paintings at Cerezo´s Gallery in Canillas de Albaida, Spain.
The show ends 19 July.
Rather than a central theme, her exhibit of five paintings reflect a wider scope of her works, from abstract, expressionist and genre works reflecting local scenes and landmarks.
