About me

My name is Kriszta, the artist behind Kriandala. I create hand-painted mandalas inspired by harmony, nature and sacred geometry. Each artwork is painted slowly and intentionally, one dot at a time, transforming traditional decorative elements into contemporary works of art.

I have been painting since 2021. My artistic journey began with studying the traditional Petrykivka folk painting style under the guidance of Ukrainian contemporary artist Kateryna Kryvolap. Over time, I integrated these decorative folk motifs into mandala structures, creating a visual language that combines tradition, harmony and contemplation.

In 2023, my 1 × 1 meter mandala painting, Aurora, received Second Prize in the international Golden Time Talent competition based in London.

At that time, I worked under the name Balla Kriszta Art. However, international audiences often assumed that "Balla" was my first name, and I found myself repeatedly explaining that my given name is Kriszta (Christina). Seeking a more universal and recognizable artistic identity, I adopted the name Kriandala in 2026.

Today, under the Kriandala name, I continue to create meditative mandalas inspired by nature, sacred geometry, and the search for inner stillness. I create my mandalas to offer a momentary escape from the noise of the world. As I paint, I find stillness within myself. The repetition of patterns helps me slow down, reconnect and return to my inner center.

Sometimes I paint inspiration from the peaceful harmony of nature. At other times, I am guided by mystery, intuition, and the landscapes of the inner world. Each mandala is a quiet space — created for those who feel overwhelmed by constant noise and long for a moment of calm, presence and peace.
