Le temps des cerises, 2025

Kristina Viera Wolf  

Childhood in Bratislava, Slovakia (Czechoslovakia at the time) contact with modern art and Slovak and foreign artists.

In 1968 abrupt and involuntary transfer to Vienna, Austria, following the crushing of the Prague Spring and the occupation of the country by the Warsaw Pact troops.

Transfer to Paris in the 1970s

Plastic arts studies, St. Charles faculty, Paris 1979 - 1980

Art therapy training with A. Denner 1982 - 1986

The practice of Kinomichi, Aikido, Tai-chi also influences my bodily experience, the relationship to space and the graphic and pictorial gesture in the 80s. The impetus, the spiral, are accentuated in my work organically and becomes an almost constant.

Ingrid Karlo, poet: "Kristina Vera Wolf's paintings are above all movement, colored movement, tenderly luminous rotations, spirals, a movement contrary to terrestrial gravity, a cosmic dance, pulsation, forms which hatch. Reality at the rhythm of 'a jubilant song, because the motor of this movement is not pain but the winged breath of Eros… and a desire that goes beyond. ”
