Hello, my name is Kristina Fingerland and I'm a visual artist based in Prague. The core of my practice lies in connecting painting and drawing with textile sculptures. Yet the essential element of my work is always the story, serving as the connective tissue between otherwise diverse expressions.

My autobiographical book Florendom has become the foundation of all my exhibitions in recent years. Through this story, I address the urgent need of society to reconcile with today’s concept of family. Its traditional form is confronted with new perspectives on the nuclear family, heteronormativity, and hypersensitivity.
I reflect on these themes through subtle imagery, associations, and symbols, through deeply felt emotions rooted in my own memory and that of my close ones.
I work with both real stories and fiction, creating a personal mythology in which the family house becomes a collective body, living, fragile, and vulnerable. Its shape is held together by relationships as mutable and tender as the emotions they mirror. The cracks and scars of this home often become an unwanted inheritance passed to new generations, who may let them decay or attempt to mend them.
