Maria Kreyn redefines the landscape genre with her storm paintings, melding the Romantic celebration of nature's sublime with modern abstract geometries and elemental themes. Her art, glowing with an inner light, blurs the line between reality and illusion, inviting viewers into a philosophical inquiry that juxtaposes the whimsical with the foreboding. Drawing on her diverse education in mathematics, philosophy, neuroscience, and mythology, Kreyn crafts scenes that are both atmospheric and geometrically complex, offering a fresh perspective on the traditional landscape painting.

Her work delves into the sublime chaos of nature, capturing its terrifying beauty and power in a state of turmoil. Kreyn skillfully balances the wild and the ethereal, creating art that meditates on our relationship with the natural world and the Anthropocene's effects. These paintings are more than mere visuals; they are narratives woven with technical skill and personal symbolism, engaging deeply with themes of nature, materiality, and humanity. Join us in discovering the unique and profound visual language of Maria Kreyn.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Maria Kreyn storm paintings vividly captures the essence of how art can transcend traditional boundaries to evoke deep, emotional responses. By removing the figure from her landscapes, Kreyn not only highlights the awe-inspiring power and beauty of nature but also invites the viewer to step into the scene, becoming part of the experience rather than a mere observer. This technique, where the landscape itself becomes the focal point, challenges the viewer to confront the sublime—those aspects of nature that are beautiful yet terrifying in their power and scale.

Kreyn's use of geometric lensed spaces introduces an interesting layer of complexity to the traditional landscape genre. This method could imply a structured, almost mathematical approach to viewing nature, suggesting that there is order within the chaos of natural phenomena like storms. It's a reminder of the dual nature of the world around us, governed by laws that can both create and destroy.
