Christina Saj is a Ukrainian American contemporary artist who started her training working with a Byzantine Iconographer, Petro Cholodny, the Younger. Though versed in traditional methods of painting, she adapts these as needs be to accommodate individual projects. She is open to innovation. Thematically, her work has evolved to explore universal symbols with cross cultural references. Mythologies have always been a point of fascination for her, as these stories and symbols resonate with all peoples and help us to make sense of the world we live in. Bright color, richly patterned surfaces and energetic compositions are her norm. Her most recent body of work "re:create" was a series of paintings that the public was invited to continuously reinvent while on display.

Her work has been widely exhibited, including such venues as the Museum of Biblical Art, The National Cathedral, The Cathedral of St. John the Divine in NYC, Union Theological Seminary, The Ukrainian Museum in New York, The Museum of Cultural Heritage (Kiev, Ukraine), the American Embassy in Qatar, as well as at the White House. Her works reside in private and museum collections in the US and abroad. She holds a BA from Sarah Lawrence, an MFA from Bard College and studied Byzantine Art History at Oxford University. Her "Tree of Life Series" was included in AinE exhibit in Quatar.

She has had over 20 one woman shows in as many years and maintains an active studio where she welcomes commissions. Her tree of Life Series
