Kriste Stan (Kristė Stankevičiūtė, b. 1993, Vilnius) obtained her BA in London Middlesex University in 2015. In 2009, she became when of the first Lithuanians to start a fashion and style blog, Feed Your Fashion Animal, and has been actively participating in the fashion world for over a decade now. After moving to England for her studies, the artist worked with various publications and brands, deepening her knowledge in fashion, and developing her personal activities between Vilnius and London. After graduating, Kristė rediscovered herself in graphic design and started expanding her clientele by creating linear drawings. Inspired by her experiences in Los Angeles, where she was introduced to previously unknown ideas of light and architecture, Kriste Stan fell in love with Californian culture and lifestyle and embarked on new forms of expression, particularly painting on canvas. Black and white compositions were then enriched with colour, strict geometric shapes and stains. In her creative process, the artist pays major attention to colour and the relationship between lines and stains. Somewhat paradoxically, even when depicting emotionally heavy narratives, her works are based on different impressions of lightness. Kristė Stan’s paintings and drawings can be found in modern private interiors all over the world, from Vilnius, Copenhagen and Berlin to American and Australian cities.
