FAQ

Artist

Kris K is a multidisciplinary artist whose work exists at the crossroads of the ancestral and the imagined. As a co-founder of the “Lineage” art style, her pieces weave themes of mythology, memory, and personal evolution—rendered through a signature blend of hand-drawn sketches and digital animation.

Her process begins with pencil and paper and evolves into digital compositions layered with motion, texture, and spiritual symbolism. Each piece feels alive—imbued with storytelling, guided by intuition, and anchored in reverence for where we come from and where we’re going.

The Art

Each artwork begins with a single continuous line - created from start to finish in one movement. For Original paintings and Mixed media artworks, the creative process continues through a range of materials. Learn more about her approach here → bio.

Kris K works with materials including acrylic paint, charcoal pencil, 24kt gold leaf, pure silver leaf, Hahnemühle canvas, cold-press archival papers, and giclée fine art printing methods.

For Original paintings, she primarily uses acrylic paint - ideal for building up texture and detail while preserving color vibrancy and longevity. Learn more about each type of artwork here → artwork type overview page.

Aside from select works based on notable figures including Marilyn Monroe and Frida Kahlo, Kris K's portraits are original figures conceived through Kris K's conceptual vision.

Kris K often challenges herself with unexpected or unconventional color combinations - sometimes deliberately choosing palettes she initially doubts. This process leads to bold, impactful results. Her use of non-naturalistic skin tones - such as purples, pinks, and greens - creates a visual language that invites universal connection.
