Kristiana Pärn

Kristiana Pärn is an artist living in New York City. She was born in Estonia, and at the age of seventeen she launched her art career, studying with Estonian painter Marje Berlokko. Shortly after graduation, Kristiana moved to New York City to study animation at The School of Visual Arts. Since 2005, she has focused exclusively on illustration work, starting out as a textile designer for various Manhattan studios. In 2006, Kristiana established her own studio in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn where she creates original work for clients in the New York area and exhibits her paintings and drawings at local galleries.

From the artist: "I have developed my current style by experimenting with different techniques to create the impression of light and air. Backgrounds are created by applying colored pigment to damp wood blocks, and objects are then drawn and painted with sharp outlines and bright colors to create depth of field. The natural grain patterns of the wood that I use as my raw material are the natural world’s contribution to the paintings, and suggest the collaboration between artist and nature. At its core, my art is an attempt to both express and foster the human characteristics I hold most dear: love, wonder, whimsy, and joy."
