Kristina Kinkela Valčić is a visual artist who specializes in abstract art.

Her exclusively abstract work allows her to constantly explore new painting techniques, inviting the viewer to see and feel her art in diverse ways. In her expressive-emotional manner, she is transmitting abstract mental maps onto the canvas. That manifests in multiple layers of acrylic and mixed media. All those layers intertwine, complement, flirt and negate each other and form harmonious imaginary landscapes.

Existing places do not serve as an inspiration for those imaginary landscapes. They arise directly from internal emotional states into visual form. The result, therefore, is not planned. They evolve from multiple, more or less transparent, layers of paint and other media that she uses.

The described process is very intuitive and intimate, which points to the fact that the identity and inner states of the creator are crucial for the entire process of creating. In contrast to the organic shapes, she sometimes uses geometric lines, which present peculiar mental boundaries and frames that impose themselves in the same unnatural way in the real world. The result allows the observers to feel and experience her art in their way and encourages them to fantasize and be free from reality.
