Bio
Born in 1994 in Kosterevo, Russia, Kristina Palett is a contemporary artist whose work explores memory, transformation, and the intangible through a blend of traditional and experimental techniques. Using methods like sanding, layering, and erasing, she creates richly textured surfaces that capture the fleeting nature of memory and the tension between reality and imagination.
Her series “Weird Pics” reimagines photographs taken during her time in New York City, where she wandered the streets as a flâneur, documenting strange and surreal moments. Years later, she transformed these images into paintings, adding imaginative twists that blend memory, reality, and personal narrative. In her recent work, Palett delves into the translation of sound into visual form, using abstraction to evoke the sensory and emotional resonance of music.
A graduate of Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY, Palett has exhibited in group shows and art fairs in the U.S. and Russia. Her work has been featured in solo exhibitions and unconventional spaces, reflecting her commitment to engaging diverse audiences.
Currently based in Moscow, Palett continues to explore themes of memory, freedom, and the artistic experience through her evolving practice.
