Lastwagen (2012) Painting by Kristina Zerr

I was born in 1980 in Semipalatinsk, Kazakhstan. Before I studied fine arts in Stuttgart, I worked as a graphic designer in publishing houses and agencies. However, I am a person who prefers to deal directly and directly with color and the classic drawing with a pen and paper than with vectors and pixels. My paintings can be called figurative, but I avoid going into too much detail. The expressiveness of the shapes and colors are more important to me than the exact reproduction of real objects or people. I was very influenced in art by the Austrian Maria Lassnig, who dealt with topics such as physicality, emotions and self-perception. In my own art, as well as in Lassnig's art, the relationship between the inner and outer world and the question of one's own identity are important.

During and after my studies, I exhibited in solo and group exhibitions different cities in Germany and Europe. I pass on my knowledge and experience as a painter in art courses to children and young people in courses and at a private school.

I am constantly trying to develop my artistic skills and try other means of expression such as collage or prints.
