In 1949, Krista Kieffer was born in a tiny town in the Black Forest, which is in West Germany. She managed to work both in Switzerland and in England, and then she did not move to the United States - in 1971. Here she worked creatively as an art director of one of the numerous film companies in Los Angeles, and unexpectedly, in an instant, decided to quit her job and devote herself to easel painting.

Christa Kieffer (Christa Kieffer) has a rich, luxurious style, marked by a strong sense of composition. Her paintings are realistically stylized and decorative. And the plot always remains unchanged - a romantic Paris of two hundred years ago. This fascination, oddly enough, came to her on the streets of New Orleans. Stone pavements, pompous balconies, scented with fragrant and vivid colors, shady courtyards, street old-fashioned lights - this atmosphere evoked memories and pleasure. Since then, the artist turns in her work to the era of modernity and takes her audience to the turn of the century, to the French capital. On the eve of each new season, she always visits Paris - walks along its wide boulevards, visits noisy cafes, goes to theaters, admires a lively street traffic. But the main heroine of her forever became amazingly beautiful women, belonging exactly to that era.

Her paintings are an expression of joy. She finds inspiration for her work in her own habitat, a small city in southern California. She lives in a small house whose glazed terrace looks directly at the Pacific Ocean. The ocean surf promotes the birth of creative fantasies: images of the past and the present are mixed with early memories from their own European childhood and, as if immersed in modernity.
