CiKunigk holds a degree in Fine Arts by FAAP and became deeply engaged in analog photography and film development still in Sao Paulo, Brazil. She has a pos-graduation stricto-sensu in Art Museum Studies and a Master degree in Art History by ECA/USP, Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Currently based near Chicago, Cikunigk specializes primarily in contemporary digital photography, image manipulation and textile exploratory media.

The interconnectedness of Art History and digital technology, each influencing and shaping the other, creates a delicate dance of expression in her prints and textile art.

The inherent irregularities of mediums become an integral part of the composition, highlighting the beauty of imperfection and deepen the physical engagement with her art connection

“The stars awaken a certain reverence, because though always present, they are inaccessible; but all natural objects make a kindred impression, when the mind is open to their influence.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nature, 1836
