Kristine Narvida
Kristine Narvida is a Latvian fine artist and a graduated Magister of the Art Academy of Riga. She lives in Berlin and works in her studio in Potsdam. Conceptually her paintings explore the acceleration of time, and humankind’s place within the present moment.
She says: “Through the understanding of time, the acceleration of which we can physically feel, through the vis-à-vis of a human model, a pause is created, a place is created for the emergence of the present. Every line and every brushstroke is precise, just like every meeting with this person; a dream, a thought. A technical work with a thought makes it possible to see how the ideal becomes material. I observe the movement, participate in it, and this process is what gives honour and meaning, joy and suffering.”
