About Kristine Di Grigoli

Philadelphia-Based Contemporary Artist | Large-Scale Commissions & Fine Art Installations

Kristine Di Grigoli is a multidisciplinary artist whose work spans painting, sculpture, and mixed media. Beginning her formal studies at age eleven with Dorothy Young in Highland Park, NJ, Kristine has spent over three decades exploring the boundaries of abstraction and storytelling. A graduate of Rutgers University, her work is held in private and public collections both nationally and internationally.

With a rich history in the New York and New Jersey art scenes—including her iconic "Sound and Vision" live-painting series at venues like the Knitting Factory and Maxwell’s—Kristine brings a cinematic energy to every project. Her portfolio includes notable large-scale public work, such as the custom mural for Panorama in Old City, Philadelphia.

Artist Statement

"My process is a surrender to the unexpected. Working primarily in acrylics and mixed media, I utilize palette knives and physical layering to build textures that demand a visceral response. Whether I am developing a series of 'cinematic scenes' for a narrative script or sculpting one-of-a-kind characters from Italian self-drying clay, my work is rooted in the subconscious. I view art as both a map and a mirror—an invitation for the viewer to wander through color and form."
