Cristina Iglesias is mainly an installation artist and sculptor based out of Spain. She works through mediums such as steel, glass, bronze, and even water. She consistently works in collaboration with architectural ideas and techniques. Many of her pieces are not only pieces of art, sometimes even suggesting a stronger message, but they are also public spaces. She has created benches for patrons in art galleries that are also a sculpture. One of Cristina Iglesias' most famous pieces of art is her underwater sculpture in Baja, California. Known for adapting to changes in maintenance, Iglesias welcomes the weathering of her sculptures. The underwater work has since become a reef and a home for wildlife of the water. Overall, she places an emphasis on environmental issues and factors that create the question of the impact our society has on out earth. (
