In her own visual expression, combined
techniques are recognised as her 'handwriting'; from traditional art
& craft techniques, mixed media, to contemporary digital media,
art activism and new technology. Kristina is interested in merging
various areas (anthropology, humanism, history of art, cognition)
with art and travel, she is combining multidisciplinary approaches to
visual and creative expressions.
Since 2015, she withdrew from
exhibitions in galleries and changed course of artwork, commiting
herself to landscape art. Her artwork is ephemeral, located on remote
island locations off the beaten paths, made in situ as impromptu
land art.
