I am an artist who explores the relationship between nature, spirituality, the collective subconscious and the human experience. My work is deeply personal, celebrating the connections and disconnections we all experience in our relationship with the natural world. I have recently begun using the medium of encaustic which allows me to address issues of memory, mark- making in the collective subconscious and spirituality through repetition in nature..

      Krisztina was born in Caracas, Venezuela in 1970. She graduated from the University of Texas with a degree in Fine Arts Painting. After university, Krisztina worked with ceramic artist Pamela Summers for several years before moving to Dublin in 2001. In 2005, she moved to Budapest where there was a burgeoning art scene. She and two other artists founded Sziv Studios there. In 2009, she returned to Ireland and makes her home in rural Kilkenny. She has exhibited widely in Ireland, the USA and internationally and is held in private and corporate collections in the U.S. , Germany, Hungary, Czech Republic and Ireland.
