Christine Kunkler began her study of art in Bruchsal / Germany and later studied in England, her work as an artist is without limitation. At present her work consists of installations, oil paintings, acrylic paintings, water colors and drawings. 

  Today she lives and works at Forchheim near Nuremberg, a medieval town in Franconia/Germany.

In the year 1997, she created a 'Way of the Cross' for a Catholic church at Bad Homburg which was influenced by Chagall and Cubism. Moving into the 21st century in 2004-2005 she developed her first installation, an “Action Installation”, based on a real demonstration against unemployment and social injustice (Hartz IV) at Leipzig. The art world took notice and her work was featured on a number of Television broadcasts with many articles appearing in newspapers and magazines worldwide.

Christine Kunkler’s belief as an artist is based on a number of theories that define the existence of art today:

At first glance art, appeals to our aesthetic senses only, the second is a statement or mere reflection of our time, religious or social, and the last deals with problems that humanity has to deal with these days. All three categories of art need different approaches, techniques and styles, so one main characteristic of Kunker´s art is the multitude of stylistic approaches according to the subject matter. Or in other words: the subject matter has become more important to her than the stylistic question.

Christine Kunkler exhibited in South Korea (Seoul), Japan, USA (New York, Los Angeles), Italy, Switzerland and Germany. Her works are in collections of the Catholic Church, the German State and many private collections.
