Kris is British Filipino multi-disciplinary artist based in Staffordshire, England. Inspired by both her inner world and outer observations, Kris Lamorena’s work delves into the intricate dance of internal contradictions of the human experience. Each piece reflects the tension between opposing forces within the self — the push and pull of desires, fears, and ideals that often coexist in both discord and harmony. Kris explores how these contradictions shape our perception of the world and her place within it, often leading to a fractured sense of identity that challenges the notion of a singular truth.
Through the use of materials like clay that embody both fragility and strength, her work visually captures the instability and resilience that emerge from these inner conflicts. Having spent her formative years both in Philippines and UK her work also reflects on the influences from both worlds and how this impacts her experience now, consolidating themes of identity, belonging and displacement.
Kris has a great number of her works in private collection worldwide and continues to garner collectors as she continues to evolve her practice in paintings, ceramic and sculpture.
