Kristina York’s Summary
Kristina is a gifted artist born in paradisiacal Costa Rica. She has been practicing art for a lifetime: "as a child, from the moment she was able to hold a pen she knew she was born to paint". In Costa Rica she attended the Taller de Artes de Jorge Sanchez and also was a member of the Rafael Pacheco Estudio de Arte, where she explore different medias and began to find her distinctive expression. She also took fine art classes at the University of Costa Rica (UCR) while pursuing her career as an attorney at the UCR Law school: "My father wanted me to become a lawyer, however, my true passion has always been the Arts.
Her art is a bridge by which she finds herself able to liberate her soul and spirit from the vast emotion transmitted to her by life itself. Her work is always a spontaneous response to her inner voice of creativity in which she finds herself striving to capture the essence of her subjects with untold devotion. She approaches each piece with a deep sense of reverence and curiosity. Each original and unique piece is perhaps a dream that would never be revealed exactly the same way again.
Her portraits capture the very soul of her subjects enhancing their own distinctive beauty.
Personal crisis as a result of the lost of her oldest child in 2004 represented a turning point in her life. After dark years of profound grief and inability to paint, Kristina's inspiration has been reborned and restored and continues to evolve itself into a fruitful odyssey of colors, messages and themes full of emotion and splendor. In her own words: "... My aspiration is to touch the spirit and the soul in all things around me… celebrating both the immense and the small miracles of life .... my goal is to capture that in my paintings. Hopefully, in the process they will in time touch the soul and the spirit of those that experience them."
