Kristina Maskarin,
croatian new genre artist working in digital and mixed media. Kristina
is combining multidisciplinary approaches to visual expression; from traditional
art & design techniques, mixed media, to contemporary anthropological
behavioralism and linquistics, activism and new technology. Since
year 2000 Kristina is working primarily in digital media. My work has been
shown internationally in online and offline venues such as Stoke Newington
Festival - Mme Lillie Quarter century show, Art Addiction 1st Medial Biennial,
ISA - International Society of Artists, Rhizome.org, Absolute arts.com,
Artmajeur, D'Art, Webism and more.
In 2005 I won Award of
Distinction / Prize of Excellence at the Art
Addiction 1st Medial Biennial, London among 258 artists from
56 countries with 1857 artworks for her work RAYE and thus got published
in the "FAMOUS
100 CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS" art book, volume 05 by World of Art and in
the exhibition catalogue.
My General Artist Statement:
The conditions and means
of artistic creation have changed drasticly through development of technology.
Many artist today, me included, use of numerouse tech- tools and move to
new virtual territories. New art genres are constantly formed in the digital
sphera; fine 2D arts, digital art actictivism, webart interventions, new
online visual arts ... My digital works reflects to a certain degree my
previouse works with mixed media. Many are digital new media artworks created
either as a stand-alone pieces or as a part of a greater project. Some
of my works are also part of collaborative projects with other artists
on (mostly) web-based projects. Web has become our main medium; not only
for communication among each other but the very medium of creation.
However, the new media
also has its limitations; such as modality of creating by tool tech- grade
or availability, fear of virtual non freedom ( profiling, closed environments,
controlling, subjection, discrimination...). Main reality moulder
is Total merge of the industrial design, marketing and media, while Art
becomes consumer hi-tech industrial product. As means, technology usage
and accessability shows for what and to whom it serves, while the goals
do not have to be ( but can be) always presented and justified. It is evil
when the technology becomes the main tool and strongest weapon of the political
and ideological propaganda and economic slavery.

ARTIST'S NOTE:
The pictures in the portfolio
are not pure digital reproductins / scans of already existing works that

as a round project of itself, not as pure artist presentation book.
For this I further worked
on the digital imagery from my real-life portfolio and produced independent
works on their own. Most of my very latest works are not present here.
These images can be purchased on requst as digital prints.

Portfolio project
AtelierK - overview:
Body
is its History, shape in the mind, my subconscious mind, not the enemy,
a sacrament, a container for the self and a temple of the Holy Spirit,
the mirror of life, designed for educational purposes not engaged in rendering
medical advice or professional services, nature's wonderland, affecting
my mind, changing, celestial, the barometer of the Soul, unique for each
person and requires individualized care.
Creativity
is like innovation, the the key to effective alternative affected by the
way rules are defined. Natural as breathing and just being yourself, mightier
than the board, essential to success. Power that is knowing a state of
mind is in the desire, expressing itself through you. Endless process,
spice of life, proportional to lack of sleep, the key to a brighter future,
'everyone's enemy', the gift of love, more important than knowledge,
marked by the ability or power to create to bring into existence different
light, allowing yourself to even to hurt when transcending time. Creativity
is the key of my life, flowing through me, essential to realizing my dreams
and goals, allowing me to make mistakes. It is a field, the tendency to
generate or recognize ideas, seeing what others see and thinking what no
one else has though at the same time making the complicated simple.
Exciting, available everywhere, contagious,
helpful, my most valuable asset.
Mind
is a myth and table of contents, a terrible thing to waste without. Valuable
timeless fighter faster than the eye. It is illustrated by the use of it
in many slogans such as "a mind is a terrible thing to waste" and "mind
over matter". It is always working and recording mental image pictures.
Mind is about conditional predictions, beautiful when like a still lake,
enemy when without fear. The expression of the brain and the body separately
or in a combined state, the key to complete leadership, a valuable investment
tool, going to order a herbal viagra or partake in a big investment opportunity.
Mind is just an analog machine, not in the head.
Work
is usually nameless, usually never done, powerful economic development
tool leading to new employments in a daycare program for adults. Once upon
a time a play, invaluable gift, love made visible, recently made
simple with simple machines, actually a series of scheduled programmed
operations fixed in tangible medium of expression. Work is generally marked
for extinction.
