  • My Name, is Kristina Quinones.

  • I am an abstract artist.

  • My art, and my inspirations, are one in the same.

  • Emotional states from my interactions with the world

  • are represented in the body of my work.

  • I'm inspired by the people of the city.

  • Their colors, their movement, and the beat of our lives together.

  • I pour my pain, and I lift the panel.

  • The fluid colors mirror my movement.

  • I rock the paint from side to side in a slow dance,

  • dictated by my breath.

  • I reach a meditative and emotional state.

  • My movement is translated through the color and motions of each layer.

  • As the paint dries,

  • the space to manipulate the movement

  • comes to an end for that day

  • It is clear,

  • despite my best intentions,

  • each piece will choose it's own path.

  • My work consists of multiple layers.

  • each layer suspended for three to four days,

  • until I paint again.

  • In the end, each painting will have gone through

  • 10 to 12 layers of movement.

  • The dance is over,

  • and the piece is complete.

My Name, is Kristina Quinones.
