 Krismarlianti also known as Kris Donaldson was born in Indonesia and moved to New Zealand in 2021. She started visual art in fashion design before illustrating her books and as an artist. Kris expresses ‘questioning moments’ in deep words and spontaneous marks on her paintings. Both her writing and paintings have a solid connection with her emotional experiences. It is passionate, energetic, and mesmerising. Krismarlianti grew up in a multicultural environment, which led her to a unique perspective on human life and condition. Kris’s background motivated her to research human emotions and the meaning of life. She studied English literature, education technology and professional coaching in Indonesia and New Zealand. She researched the meaning of life and emotional intelligence to complete her studies. However, she believes her research led her to the visual art path. Krismarlianti actively exhibits her paintings in Indonesia and New Zealand. She was recognised as a first-place winner of the Taranaki National Art Award 2022 and one of her paintings was selected as one of the finalists of NZPPA 2024 in Waikato.
