Visual Artist
Born in 1988 in Vitebsk, Belarus
Currently based in Germany
Kristina Yaroslavskaya’s work is a journey between emotion and form, where lines and light speak more than words. Her paintings explore the intangible, capturing delicate transitions in nature, time, and feeling. Inspired by the stillness of the world around her, Kristina’s art invites the viewer to feel rather than define.
Kristina primarily works with oil paints and watercolors, as well as various graphic techniques. She deeply enjoys experimenting with materials, which allows her works to be unique and layered. Each piece reflects subtle energy through rhythm, breath, and the quiet beauty of everyday life, while capturing the space between thoughts, the silence before action, and the gentle movement of light and shadow.
Since 2019, Kristina has also founded her own art school, where she actively shares her knowledge and passion for art with others. She continues to develop her creative path, participating in various exhibitions to showcase her evolving style and approach to contemporary art.
In 2021, Kristina received the Bronze Medal in Painting at the prestigious Art Excellence Awards in the Painting Nomination, further solidifying her recognition in the art world.
