Christina YNA Lee Cena Sketching and drawing were ways to pass the time when CHRISTINA LEE CENA, who also goes by YNA, was a child. Although her ultimate passion is with Fashion Designing the hobby stuck around. Her love for painting is just another way of putting a graphical journal to her life - remembering all her precious and shared moments when she was a kid. YNA always keep a handy notepad of drawings, sketches and illustrations of human studies to landscape, cityscape and florals that soon she transferred these to an empty canvas. As she begin to paint her depicted figures, male and female on a colorful and vibrant canvas, YNA finds it very interesting to associate her ultimate passion with her paintings by fashioning and dressing up her figures. She said it is like playing and dressing up her Barbie Dolls.
