About Kristina Megyeri

I was borm in 1970 in Hungary, as a child we moved to Germany with my parents and sister, there I went to school and started to have a rational relationship with art. Later in 1992 I came to live in Itay, Milan where I stayed for 10 years before to move again. Spent 10 years in Hungary to understand my roots and then came back to Italy....here I am surrounded by art on every step I make. No chance to escape from inspiration :D Creating my pieces is a kind of meditation, stillness... with a lot of happening inside untill the complete loss of myself during the moments when I get absorbed by the material or colour. Clay is a good substance for its versatility and possibility to elaborate the surface in many ways. I love both colors and sculpture but it is hard to choose between painting and modelling so I deciced to do both: prepare a "3D canvas" and put my colors on it. All happens naturally, I do not think too much....just start and it goes by itself.... and there is always a moment when I hear a voice saying: hey it's ok now. My aim is to show through my art all the beauty I perceive every day.
