Marin Headlands, oil on canvas, 16x20
My name is Kristina Kernytska. I was born in Kyiv, Ukraine in 1994.
My grandfather, Nikolai Gusev, was a painter and from my childhood years I was interested in art and painting, and he taught me. It was my favorite time of my youth.
In 2020 me and my husband moved to Davis. From the first days in California, I fell in love with the nature of the Golden State. Together with my husband we travel across California. Monterey Peninsula and Santa Cruz are my favorite. On every trip, I find something that inspires me for a new painting. I adore the power and beauty of the Pacific Ocean.
For me it is very important to create paintings that give a feeling of immersion. I hope that when people see my paintings, they can imagine themselves on the Pacific shore.
I often experiment with the texture of paintings, I use palette knives and dense paint, to recreate the relief of the rocks and cliffs. In my paintings I give special attention to brush strokes: with the help of curved lines, I create the effect of the moving water; the dynamics of shape and tone are important to me, and I am trying to merge them all in one harmonic painting.
I really like to work with people, so also, I work as a painter tutor for kids and adults. I work with oil and acrylics.
I am also a member of The Artery Gallery in Davis where I sell my paintings and prints.
