KRISTYNA LORENZO

Kristyna Lorenzo is an artist native to Brooklyn, New York. Dedicating many years as an artist to an arts middle school, and high school, and is currently achieving her BFA at The New Schools arts program: Parsons School of Design. Consistently adding their own stylistic, metaphoric, and abstract tones to her art through multiple modes such as painting, film, collage, and 3D materials. Diving into their memories of growing up as well as not being at home or comfortable with the religion that was placed upon them, and feeling out of sorts. Unveiling its ugly truths or its more mundane blissful side. The effect of that is a body seeping its way forcefully into their life. She strives to implement and bleed those various styles of art into each other as well as herself. Passionate in pursuing her career past college as a creator and maker of art.

To me, people that live with pride in their identity, interests, and values, shine so brightly that you have to cover your eyes to look at them straight on. In the past, it made me envious, reminded me of dreams I ignored and tucked away at the back of my mind.

Those who wear what they want, love who they want, like what they want, felt like people I couldn’t quite relate to. How did they do that? How did they… live so freely? What made them so different from me?

I pondered that all my life, and I realized that this confidence had to stem from within. When you believe in yourself, believe you are worth taking risks for, you begin to lead the life you want.

Changes bring new experiences, and experiences foster growth. Along the way, you learn more about yourself, define your own identity, and foster your sense of innate worth. But if you never take that step forward, you stay stagnant, and you continue to live burdened with regrets. It builds and builds until one day, you wake up and realize you’ve wasted your whole life chasing comfortability because fear held you back for years, decades even.

So I urge you to take that step and make that change, little by little, because one day you’ll wake up and feel that same regret creep up on you, like I did.

I wish I gave more compliments to strangers.
I wish I stayed in touch with old friends.
I wish I tried harder to make new friends.
I wish I tried harder to chase my dreams.
I wish I showed more affection.
I wish I expressed more gratitude.
I wish I was more positive.

Those are the thoughts that keep me up at night. But to love others, you need to first have enough love for yourself.

And you know what? As long as you’re alive, you still have time to lead the life you want. So start that hobby, wear that dress, cut your hair short, confess your feelings, laugh, cry, make mistakes, learn, and do all the things you know you’d regret if you never took a chance on yourself.

Today, I turn 21. Growing older is scary. It really is. But it’s only a reminder that time keeps turning, so let’s keep trying to make the most of it.

This year too, let’s all try our best to live happily and without regrets.

Introducing the Parsons Crit Clubs first artist spotlight are artists Kristyna Lorenzo and Ella Wingate!

Kristyna and Ella both primarly work in painting with explorations in collage and zine making. While Kristyna works with themes like family, religion, humor, and the self, Ella likes to engage in themes such as femininity, politics, color, and childhood.

Featured is their zine, Artificial Affairs, a tantalizing tale of two screen-crossed lovers separated forevermore through the window of an app.

“Last semester, we had the opportunity to create an informative zine highlighting the effects/potential dangers of parasocial relationships when connecting with AI chatbots. The project includes both original text and collages based on our own personal experimentation with the Character.ai program. Kristyna took on the parasocial side when conversing with shots (first dive pages) and Ella explored the mental health perspective (last five pages). Aiming to spread awareness artistically, through a medium they both are passionate about, Kristyna and Ella hope to share their zine with others.”
