      About Kris Goto

      In each of Kris Goto's pieces, there's an evident celebration of the natural world, intertwined with human experiences and emotions. The way she captures movement—be it through the drift of balloons, the sway of hammocks, or the dance of vibrant umbrellas—is nothing short of poetic. This aesthetically clean style embodies the spirit of ‘aloha’ with a touch of oriental minimalism, creating art that's both accessible and deeply evocative. The use of bold colors against a more subdued background is a nod to the vibrant life of the islands, while maintaining a balance that is a hallmark of Japanese aesthetics.

      The charm of Kris Goto's art lies in its ability to transport us to a place where the boundaries between the oriental and the tropical blur into one enchanting narrative. The subjects, though often simple in form, are rich in story and sentiment, reflecting a lifestyle that is both laid back and full of life. Whether it's a series of sushi-themed characters or a solitary figure amidst a sea of umbrellas, each piece is a testament to the harmonious blend of Japanese precision and Hawaiian fluidity. It's a style that's undeniably Kris Goto—unique, refreshing, and delightful.
