Kristina Goncharuk
Hello
I am Kristina Goncharuk, artist and teacher. I was born in Kazakhstan, grew up in Russia and now live in Germany.
I am a member of the Professional Union of Artists of Russia (PSHR), the Professional International Artists Club (ASM-CLUB), the local Berlin Artists' Community and the Italian Artists' Club. With more than 80 original works in various techniques (oil, pastel, acrylic), my paintings are exhibited and purchased worldwide. I am involved in many charity projects that enrich emotionally and confirm my belief: "Kindness and beauty will save the world."
My artistic credo is: "My art is to be myself and to share my vision in a unique way using positive energy as a tool. My works serve as a protective talisman and a source of support for their owners."

My Art
Creative work with different materials
As an artist, I like to experiment with different materials such as pencil, tempera, acrylic, pastel and oil. Currently, I prefer to work with dry pastel and oil. I only paint when I am in a good mood to convey positive energy. I love painting from nature and often go outdoors to be inspired by the surroundings. In search of my own style, I created a series of paintings called "Helping Hands".
The “Helping Hands” project
My series "Helping Hands" includes oil paintings on canvas (70x50 cm). This project is dedicated to all of humanity and evokes the spiritual, human and highest human feeling of love. Each painting speaks of faith in higher powers, God, the universe, oneself, life and love. Despite the many difficulties in life, the world and nature, we must never forget that we are not alone. There are always hands that help.
Like a small child, you seek support and reach out to the sky for answers and solutions. And then hands come... from God, from the Universe, always ready to support, to lift you up, not to let you despair and to show compassion. They give you strength and then let you return to life. To live so that tears of joy flow, love inspires and dreams produce results. To live fully, breathe deeply, take and share. All this energy comes from nature, the cosmos and God. Each person is the creator of his own life. The paintings inspire to feel these emotions and taste life. All works from the "Helping Hands" series take part in international exhibitions. The series is limited to a certain number of works and is gradually being completed to 20 paintings. Currently, 13 paintings have already been completed.
Painting Christmas balls
In addition to painting paintings, I also paint Christmas baubles that add a special and personal touch to any home. Each bauble is unique and brings festive joy and creativity to the Christmas season.
Art club for children
I also run an art club where I work with children. Together we explore the world of art and encourage the children's creative development. It is a joy for me to experience their enthusiasm and curiosity as we paint and create together.
