Kronina's artistic journey began with a deep conviction: creativity is not a goal, but a way of life. Born in 1986 in Siegen, she found early refuge and expression in art. Her determination was already evident during her school years when she rose every day before sunrise to attend a high school with an art-focused curriculum — a sacrifice she willingly made to give space to her passion. However, the path was not always straightforward: an initial rejection from the art university prompted her to refine her skills through a portfolio course and to believe in her vision more than ever. This experience shaped her and not only earned her a place at the university but also taught her that true growth often comes from setbacks

During her art studies, Kronina developed her unmistakable painting technique that captures the moment and emphasizes the essential. Using a paint roller on a telescopic pole, she creates expressive scenes that tell everyday moments in an abstracted form. Several canvases are worked on simultaneously as she sketches out contours with intuitive movements. This method, which combines dynamism and reduction, gives her works a distinctive energy. Particularly her "Black Series," which plays with minimalist color schemes, has gained strong resonance among art lovers and collectors in recent years. The past few years marked a turning point in Stephanie's career. Her works received increasing attention — from solo exhibitions in galleries to juried shows like "Here and Now – Art from Hamm and Westphalia" (2024), where she successfully competed against applicants from across Europe. Publications in the economic report of the IHK association praised her artistic vision and techniques. Today, Kronina lives and works in Neunkirchen, where she continues to transform everyday stories into abstracted artworks that invite viewers to reflect.
