Kristina Uyeda

Kristina Uyeda, hailing from the scenic city of Vancouver, Canada, is an artist whose heart has always been captivated by the world of art. With a lifelong dedication to her craft, Kristina specializes in traditional art forms, primarily focusing on acrylic painting, mixed media, and the innovative use of upcycled materials. Her art is a reflection of her love for fantasy, science fiction, and the paranormal, and she masterfully weaves these themes into her creations.

Kristina’s background in psychology and anthropology, where she holds a BA with a double major and honors in psychology, adds layers of depth to her art. Her academic insights into human behavior and cultures are subtly mirrored in her artwork, as she explores dark and enchanting tales that delve into human fears and desires. The characters and stories that populate her pieces are brought to life with a blend of whimsy and macabre, as she employs vibrant colors and textures through acrylics and mixed media.

In addition to her paintings, Kristina is also a writer. Her literary inclinations complement her artistic expression, as both mediums allow her to tell stories and build worlds that are rich with imagination and emotion.

Her commitment to sustainability is evident in her art, as she thoughtfully incorporates upcycled materials, adding not only texture and depth but also an eco-conscious dimension to her work.

Outside the canvas, Kristina is a freelance editor and an avid reader, continually drawing inspiration from literature. As a devoted mother to two spirited boys, her days are filled with boundless energy and adventure. This dynamism and creativity are intrinsic to Kristina’s art, making each piece a tapestry of her experiences, imagination, and profound love for storytelling.
