Christina Jarmolinski - Fine Artist Visionary Art - Zen Art - Spiritual-Soul Art - Intuitive Artist
As Cezanne, the Father of Modern Art once said “A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art.”
"I believe Art is a form of meditation, connecting with my Inner Child and my Higher Source."
Creativity is ...“the ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns, relationships, or the like, and to create meaningful new ideas, forms, methods, interpretations, etc.” (The Random House Dictionary)
Experiencing her childhood years in Connecticut with her family of European origin, social differences and culture have always been an essential element of life.
Her father an architect, civil engineer also studied art. Her Grandmother, a reknown pianist in Warsaw nobility circles and her mother's aunt, a designer of fashion were artists of their time. Her first studies were in linguistics in Munich, Germany. After receiving a Master in Languages, and a knowledge of the German language, she advanced to study art and became Master student of Professor Erich Schmidt-Unterseher. She also studied with the reknown artist Oskar Kokoschka in Austria.
The expressionist group "The Blue Rider" greatly influenced her paintings. She has taught art, art appreciation and meditation with art in Adult Education in Germany and Paracelsus Healing Institutes in Germany, also establishing an Art School, the Malerhof in Germany. In the US she was owner and artist in galleries in Florida.
At present,she is also offering Zen Art - and Being Creative and Adventurous with Acrylics and Collage.
Using various methods to convey her ideas and subjects, she mostly work in series. The paintings tell of stories or fantasies in figurative or geometric shapes.
Other means of expressing her art is in collage using coins and printed matter. She expertly combines these with paint and a new story is created. Rauschenberg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Rauschenberg called this "Combined Painting." Her paintings have been shown hanging next to Robert Rauschenberg.
Portraits are also a favorite venue for her. She likes to capture the spirit and soul of the person or animal. She will also take on commissioned works in Acrylics of family dogs, cats, horses.
All of her works are original. Limited Edition Prints are available of some of her works.

"You are cordially invited to my studio gallery in the scenic country side of the Eastern Shores not far from Ocean City, Maryland. My studio is open to visitors by appointment.
In the summer of 2017 I published my own version of The three Little Piggies and the big Bad Wolf with my art works illustrating the story. Published in English and German.
I also offer Meditations and Art Classes. I use visual meditations to help my students express their visions or feelings. Recently I am writing a book on Meditations and Zen Art."
