ristina Garon was born to a French family in Lithuania. Her mother was an artist and encouraged her early interest
in art. Kristina from the early age was fascinated by her mother’s ability to
paint without any sketches.
Garon began studying art in Academy of Art, Vilnius, Lithuania, after that she continue studies in Academy of Art , Tallinn, Estonia. It was not until Garon came to America she begins to express herself as an artist without limitations. Before she came in America Kristina lived in Warsaw, Poland, Berlin and Munich, Germany. When Garon arrived to US she lived for 15 years in Los Angeles, California. After that she relocated to East Coast, Washington DC area.
Garon likes her paintings to be combination of bold, aggressive strokes and delicate, gentle, intricate detail. Garon’s appreciation of strong color is partly due to their rarity when she was growing up. Her paintings are reflection of her life experience and positive thoughts fueled by her intuition and imagination. Garon not go looking for inspiration or ideas in everyday life. She leaves it to the Universe to decide what to send her. She calls her paintings “deliveries from Universe”. While Garon’s works have the swirling energy of many abstract works, they also suggest something quite different: the murmuring of numerous voices beneath each layer. The variety of styles impact our senses, awaken our emotional memory, and empower us to see the universe and beyond. Garon show the viewer that a painting should not end on the canvas. It should encourage viewers to create worlds of their own.
After seeing Garon’s paintings in International Art exhibition “ Creative Energy” that took place in Estense Castle Museum, Ferrara, Italy October 2010 Italian art critic and journalist Michela Turra in her Review of Kristina’s Garon art wrote: “ Garon developed the feature that became recognizable trademarks of her art. Garon’s paintings demonstrating that abstract and figurative art can masterfully coexist, giving birth to an unexpected and successful synthesis. Her art gives joy: it is continuous discovery, total fullness of existence, where there is no sparing, because what matters is to give and to communicate the emotions of the soul”
Her paintings have been widely exhibited in group exhibitions, Agora Gallery, Chelsea, New York, Art Fusion Gallery Art district Miami, Florida, annual International exhibitions in Estense castle Museum, Ferrara, Italy and “De Marchi” Gallery, Bolonia, Italy. Also her work is in numerous private collections. Recently Garon today lives and works in Washington DC area.
