Kristina Popov

Kristina Popov is an interdisciplinary artist based in Berlin. Inspired by the impressive resilience and tireless adaptability of nature, her artistic practice explores the complex relationships between humans and nature in urban spaces. Her artistic practice includes analog and digital photography, photograms, cyanotypes and installations. She has exhibited in numerous group exhibitions in Germany and internationally. She is also involved as an initiator and project manager for interventions and projects in public space with an activist approach. Popov has participated in the Bülow Street Art Jam 2024.
In her current series “Urban Plants”, the artist uses the cyanotype technique to create experimental and organic works that oscillate between concrete images and abstract expression. The omnipresent transformation processes tie in with her personal history and are reflected as central themes in her works. Cyanotype, an old, environmentally friendly photographic process, uses the light-sensitive properties of iron compounds to produce images in a cyan blue under UV light.
