Ad Asta, to the Stars Limited Edition Print of 150 Plate Size: 420 x595mm Plate created 5th July 2011

A beautiful limited edition print is a soft ground etching with aqua-tint. Kristina's surrealistic abstracted etched print features dream-like scenes and symbolic imagery that's often contrasting with the unexpected to highlight their differences or similarities. Her print does not depict the natural world in a realistic way, the imagery whether human or animal is distorted, simplified or entirely non-representational, focusing on shape, patterned colour, and form to achieve its effect.
