Cristina Ortega (Vecindario, Gran Canaria, 1999) is an artist. Her practice operates at the intersection of craft, territory, and contemporary art, understanding manual making as a form of critical thinking linked to debates around production, ecology, and labor. She holds a degree in Fine Arts and has trained in Contemporary Art History and Visual Culture. Her work brings together body, tool, and process from both a theoretical and material perspective.

Coming from a family of dressmakers and farmers, her connection to craft is rooted in intergenerational learning tied to the land. Through ceramics, embroidery, and textile pattern-making, she explores fragility, repetition, and error as forms of resistance to industrial logic. Her work addresses the agricultural and industrial landscapes of the Canary Islands and makes visible women’s labor as a living archive of knowledge. She has developed her work in Spain, France, and the United States.
