Kristina has worked and interned in Denmark, Spain, Germany, France, Greece, Poland, and Latvia.

The primary themes of her work are the power of the other, the connection between \u201cyou\u201d and \u201cme,\u201d the experience of loneliness in the crowd and loneliness in solitude, the (mis)communication between society and the individual, and the sense of exclusion.<\/p>\n Lina \u0160lipavi\u010di\u016bt\u0117<\/strong>, a creator of monumental art, is interested in the possibilities of transformation of space by integrating artworks into it \u2013 how a space\/place with its own history influences the artwork that appears in it and vice versa. Meanwhile, smaller format compositions allow to explore another dimension that is important for the artist \u2013 psychological space and the phenomena that take place within it.<\/p>\n Aino Sallamari Rantala-Bernaton\u0117\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Marta Fr\u0117jut\u0117\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":9510,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[26],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n
