Kristina Tsoulis-Reay grew-up in Aotearoa and currently lives and works in Naarm Melbourne. For the past twenty years her practice has entailed ‘remaking’ family photographs using painterly processes. Her work utilises the liquid properties of paint to propose a slippery form of autobiography, comprised of repetition, variation, and intangibility. Kristina has exhibited widely in Australia, including most recent solo exhibitions Dwellings at Stockroom (2024), Windows for Mirrors at MADA Gallery (2023), Rondures at Lon Gallery (2021), Bloom Shadow Circle at Caves (2020), Movements at Gallery 9 (2017), and Shared Ruin at Sutton Gallery Project Space (2016). Her work was included in Painting, More Painting at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (2016). She completed a Bachelor of Fine Art Honours at RMIT University (2009), a Master of Fine Arts at Monash University (2014), and a PhD in Fine Art from MADA, Monash University (2023), for which she was a recipient of an Australian Government Research Training Program Scholarship. Kristina currently teaches painting and studio practice in the Fine Art undergraduate and honours programs at MADA.

Kristina acknowledges the sovereign custodians of the Country on which she lives and works, the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation, and pays her respect to Elders and Ancestors.
