About me
Chrisaleks is an artist with multi-cultural backgrounds and is currently working and living in Berlin Germany. Chrisaleks is interested in different medium of art such as photography, painting, drawing and illustration. In her world of art, the materials that she often used are common, mass-produced and extracted things from mundane lives of people in product-diversified socities. The society leaves its mark in many different ways. Art is an answer and gives attention to aspects which might not be perceived consciously. The process in making plays an important role. Changes and progress are the keywords in the 21st century which influence me as an artist. The combination of different materials and images and their clash create dynamic connections that can f.e. criticize or convey playful irony. Mind games are the source of the formation of ideas. Especially photography in the digital age questions if reality is just reality or maybe not. Moments can be captured and could be manipulated. Reality seems fictitious and visionary yet its mysteriousness is preserved.
