ABOUT THE ARTIST
Maria Kreyn (b. 1987) is an American artist known for evocative paintings that merge figuration, abstract geometries, and elemental atmospherics.
With a background in mathematics, philosophy, neuroscience, and mythology, Kreyn creates atmospheric scenes rich in complexity and innovation.
WELCOME TO CHRONOS — where time, weather, and humanity meet.
The exhibition CHRONOS invites participants into a profound reflection on the essence of time, the unpredictable nature of weather, and our intrinsic yet fragile bond with the environment. It proposes an immersive journey into the materiality of time and our existential dialogue with the natural world, urging viewers to contemplate their place within the ongoing narrative of environmental change. Through this immersive exploration, Kreyn’s work fosters a critical engagement with the themes of creation, destruction, and the potential for rebirth, challenging us to confront the realities of our relationship with the planet.
