Christina Lewis Vizcarrondo

Christina Lewis Vizcarrondo, aka Bonesy, is a Puerto Rican-American painter born in New Jersey, and now resides in San Juan, Puerto Rico. She is interested in spiritual realms and personal development and is influenced by Van Gogh and Arnaldo Roche because of the expressionistic nature of their art. Her work is also inspired by Frida Kahlo’s surrealistic paintings and rebellious nature that questions the status quo. Bonesy has exhibited her work in 2021 for the second time with the Every Woman Biennial in NYC and was in Superfine Art Fair, September 2021. She has been published in Art Seen and Elle Magazine. Most recently, she was a speaker at NFTNYC in June 2022, sharing her use of the blockchain with traditional fine art.

Puerto Rican-American artist, Christina Lewis, aka Bonesy, received her BFA in Graphic Design and Painting in 2009 from the University of Notre Dame, with Maria Tomasula as her thesis advisor. Her work is mostly figurative and full of movement done in a range of mediums including oil paints, acrylic, watercolor, pastels, and pencil. Guided back to her roots, she is now based in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and is inspired by the vibrant culture of island life.

She has completed 2 art residency programs, one is São Paulo, Brazil called Casa Na Ilha, and the other in the Lower East Side, NYC at Con Artist Collective. In 2019, she also spent 2 months on a Self-Guided Residency through Colombia where she painted 3 murals and visited all the museums and galleries in each city she visited. Bonesy founded a non-profit to open her own sponsored residency program in Santurce, Puerto Rico, which has been delayed due to the pandemic (www.bonesycollective.org). This will bring Puerto Rican artists who are part of the diaspora back to the island while also providing much needed studio space to local artists.

She has mostly shown her work in NYC, New Jersey, and Philadelphia. In 2019, Bonesy was part of the Every Women Biennial in NYC and also participated in the Expresiones Latinx show in Morristown, NJ, where she was in the Panel Discussion on the importance of building art communities. She was part of a group show called “Art is Money - Money is Art” at Geba Art Gallery in Bogotá, Colombia. Bonesy partnered with End of Elm, a boutique restaurant in Morristown, New Jersey, to curate a rotating art exhibit to support local artists (www.endofelm.com/end-of-elm/art).
