Kristina Ališauskaitė is an artist from Lithuania. In 2009, Kristina completed MA painting studies in Vilnius Academy of Arts. After the studies she was awarded a „Young artist‘s“ public prize in the contest of the Baltic states (2013). In 2014 she was granted an individual scholarship of the Ministry of Culture. Since 2015 she has been a member of Lithuanian Artists‘ Association.
Kristina uses her personal experiences as material for analyses of universal states. Although she doesn‘t use traditional archetypal imagery, an analogous result is achieved – it invokes collective unconscious. By depersonalizing, levelling, fragmenting the characters she refines a state, an experience, a psychological situation as such and turns it / them into the main character. Memory becomes a significant thematic axis – the power of fuzzy remembrances to influence the present and the future.
