Artist Way

Painting defines her identity, allowing her to express emotions, tell stories, and capture moments beyond words. Each stroke on canvas is an infusion of her heart and soul, creating art that deeply resonates. She hopes her art brings joy, kindles emotions, and inspires.
"Nature inspires me significantly, especially during lighthearted time spent outside. Guided by my artist grandfather at age 6, I began my artistic journey.
His delicate lessons established the groundwork for my enthusiasm for painting. I continuously refine my art by investigating different methods, mixing painting and realistic components for amazing viewpoints. From oil painting with ink and pastel to acrylic with watercolor, my craft has difficulties in how we see the world.
Painting isn't just a hobby; it defines who I am. It lets me express emotions, narrate stories, and capture moments beyond words. With every stroke, my heart and soul pour into the canvas, creating art that resonates deeply.
With each piece I create, I trust it blends feelings and revives recollections, charming you with its miracles. We should share the joy painting gives and fuel pleasure and motivation together." - Kristal Duval

Art Model
She has been working with artists and art photographers for many years, and she prefers to be called an “art model” because she creates alongside artists. Her journey as an art model began when she was just 12 years old when a relative asked her to present her designed clothes on stage. Shortly after, her sister, a designer, and other designer friends invited her to showcase their creations onstage. Since then, she has collaborated with numerous artists and art photographers, shaping her path in the arts and as an art model.
