Kristine Skipsna Fine Arts
My name is Kristine, and I was born in the beautiful country of Latvia. In 2005, I proudly earned my Master's degree from the Art Academy of Latvia. Even as a child, my heart knew I was destined to be a painter, and for the past 30 wonderful years, my path has been dedicated to the world of art. My paintings have found homes in private collections across Latvia, Germany, and Monaco.
Later in life, love led me to Germany and the beautiful region of Franconia. Now, my life is a vibrant dance between two countries and three languages ( Latvian, English and German).
At the heart of my practice lies oil painting. It is within this medium that I feel most connected and find the freest expression of my inner world. I am committed to using only the finest quality materials and adhering to meticulous techniques, ensuring the longevity and integrity of each piece for both myself and those who collect my work.
I also welcome commissions, finding great joy in bringing the visions and dreams of others to life on canvas.
Our ability to stop and look at the world around us may seem mundane, but is actually miraculous! Each flower, each insect, the sun, clouds, and the sea are all rendered unique by their mere existence. We are so wonderful just the way we are! Each smile and glance, a stray curl, all speak volumes. I seek to ‘capture’ these moments, to preserve them for all to see.
The aim of my art is to make people stop for a moment to reflect on beauty. We are living beings and inanimate nature; we are dust from space; we are so interesting and changeable. With every line or brushstroke, I realise that each tiny detail deserves attention and only close observation will allow me to pare away what is superfluous!
