HI, I'M KRYSIA BADASS.
I am just one artist in this world painting my experiences.
I have a story unlike many, yet like so many. I have lived, and I have learned. My story no longer defines me; my story defines my understanding of the world; the motivations behind my actions, and the reason I paint what I paint.
My artwork is typically characterized and decorated with florals and greenery on purpose. I align the human experience in tandem to plants; their uniqueness and intricacies. Most of my work features a floral aspect alongside a portrait, cityscape, building, or imagined vision. Sometimes my paintings come from ideas inside of my head, and other times they are based on photographs I have taken and experienced myself.
As a self-taught Artist, I developed a unique blending method that I call “Chunky Blending.” This approach is at the heart of my work, which primarily focuses on portraits, foliage, flowers, nature landscapes, and cityscapes of European influence.
Chunky blending is more than a technique, it is a philosophical idea that guides my creative process. Each stroke is intentional, creating an aesthetically pleasing rhythm within my artwork. Much like the complexity of our lives, these layers come together to form a cohesive narrative, while seeing each building block through paint strokes. Using the Chunky Blending method, it allows the observer to appreciate the intricate layers of color that coexist within a piece, inviting them to explore the depth and nuance of my artwork. Much like the complexity of our lives, these layers come together to form a cohesive narrative.
In my work, I seek to capture the beauty of both nature and urban environments, celebrating the interplay between tranquility and vibrancy. Each portrait, leaf, or skyline reflects a moment in time, a building block in the greater story of existence. Just as life is constructed from a myriad of emotions and experiences, my art embodies this philosophy, encouraging viewers to see the beauty inn both the individual elements and the whole.
I invite you to pause, reflect, and connect with the world around you, finding the inner solace in the familiar and inspiration in the unexpected. My hope is that each piece resonates with your own experiences, serving as a reminder that every moment contributes to the intricate tapestry of our lives.
