Cristina Otero Sabio
Akris Photography & Painting
born in january 1992.
From Granada, Spain, activist, marine biologist and artist.
My devotion to the sea began at a very young age. Back then I dreamed of exploring the oceans and studying cetaceans.
I always had an artistic vision of the world around me. That is why as a child I used to spend my time drawing, recreating scenes and imagining new ones; frequently underwater in the ocean and orcas.
During adolescence I discovered the art of photography and digital editing and learned as a self-taught.
That was when Akris was born.
About me


The first time I used a reflex camera was when I was 16 years old. I found in conceptual photography a form of communication and direct expression that required no words or explanations.
I remember spending nights and nights awake editing photographs with the few resources that were available at the time.
I never ever travel without my camera.
My curiosity and ambition to explore the world later led me to decide to pursue a professional career in science, which has allowed me to live and work in various places and countries.
In 2015, after a break of almost 10 years, I picked up a brush again, and since then I have not stopped drawing and proposing new artistic challenges.
Among my works, watercolor paintings predominate, with a marine, educational and activist touch. My marine works have led me to participate in several international exhibitions and conferences.
Today I combine my professional career as a marine biologist with art and I hope to continue doing so for many years.
