Maria Cristina Finucci

Maria Cristina Finucci (born 1956, Lucca, Italy) is an artist and designer.

Trained as an architect and artist, she has lived and worked in Moscow, New York, Paris, Brussels, and Rome. She currently lives in Madrid.

Her works, created in various countries, have been published in books and magazines. She herself collaborated as foreign correspondent to the architecture magazine Controspazio.

Her artistic research, started at a very young age, has encompassed painting, sculpture, architecture, design, video art, and film post-production. In 2013, Maria Cristina Finucci synthetized these experiences in a transmedia work titled Wasteland, which led to the foundation of the Garbage Parch State, a nation of islands formed by the plastic debris adrift in the oceans. In addition to carrying out an ethical and environmental commitment, this work outlines an innovative art form, in tune with current developments. For this reason, Maria Cristina Finucci was awarded the “Golden Apple” of the 26th edition of the Marisa Bellisario Prize, “Donne Ad Alta Quota” (“High-Flying Women”).
