"Cristina Ybarra vive in modo del tutto passionale ognuna delle attività cui sceglie di acostarsi. Dalla pittura alla botanica e al giardinaggio, e applicati questi al restauro del Palacio de Portocarrero. Il grande amore di Ybarra per piante e fiori é evidente nella sua attività di pittrice." Sergio Maggio- Condenast Italia |
