About Me

Johan Criss (b. 1998, Philippines) is a contemporary painter based in the United Kingdom. Working primarily with acrylic, acrylic mediums, ink, and oil, his paintings explore moments of stillness, vulnerability, and quiet intimacy. Through figurative subjects and expressive floral elements, his work reflects on human beauty and the emotional connection between people and the natural world.

Criss’ paintings focus on capturing fleeting emotional states - moments where the noise of the world falls away and a quieter inner landscape emerges. Using layered textures, soft colour transitions, and expressive brushwork, he creates atmospheric compositions that invite viewers into contemplative visual spaces.
