Work

Angelina is known for her detailed, realistic murals depicting (usually but not exclusively) female figures. She collaborates with other artists on these large pieces; some of her frequent collaborators have been artists FinDAC and EaseOneTX. Angelina was recently featured as one of the "Most Influential Acts Of Street Art Around The World"[1] by The Huffington Post.

Angelina was commissioned by the musician Kaskade to paint live on his "Freaks of Nature" summer tour in support of his album Fire & Ice.[2] In March 2012, Angelina completed several paintings and window dressings exclusively for Christian Louboutin at Neiman Marcus Beverly Hills (the paintings have now become part of Neiman Marcus’ permanent collection).[3] In January 2012 she created the cover art for Rodrigo y Gabriela’s latest album, Area 52. In addition, she appeared as herself in the music video for "Eyes Like Pearls" by Van Hunt[4][5] from the album What Were You Hoping For?
