Kristina Vanous creates symbolism-rich, emotionally powerful paintings inspired by her own healing journey. With over 25 years in design, she turned to fine art in 2023 after emerging from the depths of trauma, divorce and self-reinvention. Her work explores themes of resilience, feminine energy and transformation, often through unexpected subjects like iridescent insects, blooming women, mythic mermaids and introspective surrealism.
Each series invites you to look closer and discover the stories we carry; the identities we reclaim and the beauty we grow from pain. Kristina’s mission is to uplift, reflect and honor the complexity of becoming whole. Explore her collections and step into a world where healing is both raw and radiant.
