ARTIST STATEMENT
„My artworks, ranging from large-format wonderlands to colorful sceneries, are very intuitive. The artistic process mostly starts with a thought, an images or a sketch. I love to think about ideas; I love to search for themes and then suddenly comes the way to make it work. I need spontaneity, because it surprises me.“ - Kristine Kutepova
