My name is Kris (Krisztina) Bernath.  Before my two lovely sons were born, (2007) I was working as a Financial Analyst at Delphi after obtaining a bachelor and masters degree in Business. I have also played basketball for over 20 years at a competitive level. (If you meet me you will know why… I am 1m89. 🙂 )

So you might ask with this background why would she want to create an Art Atelier??? Well, I am a perfect example that it is never too late to (re)discover the joy of creating and bring out what is already inside of all of us.

I have always liked art, but like most of us, I stayed at a level of a 10 year-old child. I didn’t have the opportunity and technical skills to improve myself.

While living in Italy for 5 years, I had the pleasure of attending several drawing and painting classes. My whole vision of the world has changed. I found my new hobby so fascinating, that I have decided to deepen my knowledge. I continued to take advanced art classes in both Modena and Budapest where I was born.

I have always enjoyed teaching as well.  While I was at University, I was tutoring my fellow students and I was helping elementary school kids in Math and in different subjects.

When we moved back to Luxembourg in 2013, I had started working on the idea of ikri8 (to be pronounced as I create) Art Atelier to show how fun and how relaxing ART can be. With my step by step instructions a total beginner can create something wonderful!  I loved the big smiles on people’s faces when they realized what they were capable of doing. Therefore, I decided that this is what I would like to do: combining my passion for art and my passion for teaching.  So in June 2014 I have founded Ikri8 S.a.r.l.  The rest is history. 🙂
