STATEMENT
"While I paint I focus on my inner world and listen to the inner voice by taking power, intuition, rhytm, intelligence and inspiration from my soul. Doing that I project my inner light on the canvas. As I feel the colours like different frequencies they cover areas, which are behind the real world we see. I want to deliver to the viewer joy, hope, optimism, gratitude, humor and the ability to love, a push to think about and just to feel!"
Kristina Sretkova
Of all of the shows taking place this year in NYC Sretkova’s work set the bar for abstraction in the 21st century.“
