Kintija Avena ^{Noor kunstnik}

“My artistic studies relate to the following topics – narrative, story telling, legends and their connection to everyday life. In a combination of real and fictional, photo collages and sketches with the imaginative and unclear characters that stem from fictional stories I research my own experience and a human’s connection with story telling both from memories as well as from daily life of today. Aesthetically I use black and white colour scheme, silver/gold, transparency and one contrasting colour as a passion and feeling medium. As a sketching medium photos are the most used ones together with charcoal sketching and videos. The end result very often can be transformed from 2d to 3d and vice versa.
