Tikorikori - Vibrant Art

Kristel


I am a Belgian-born artist who migrated to New Zealand in 1995. My work is a colourful combination of figurative and abstract elements. I am inspired by the light and hues of the New Zealand scenery to use strong and vivacious colours. I use acrylics, inks and oils combined with collage, organic and other materials.

My paintings are visual books. Each layer represents a chapter of emotions and thoughts. Over time, throughout the gradual changes in my style, my work remains a joyful world of colour and light. I am influenced by the European traditions of Klimt, Modigliani and Gauguin.

My work is exhibited at home, in my art studio and on my web site.

I have also exhibited my work at:
· The New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts (Wellington)
· Odlin gallery (Lower Hutt)
· Pataka Gallery (Porirua)
· Plimmerton Café
· Affordable Art Show (Wellington)
· Expressions (Upper Hutt)
