Kristina Muñoz is a traditional watercolour artist based in Teddington, United Kingdom. Her work is rooted in observation, atmosphere, and the expressive potential of watercolour as a medium.

Inspired by the Golden Age of British Illustration, fairy tales, and the natural world, her illustration practice centres on cosy, character-led storytelling and the rhythms of burrow life. In 2019, she published her own illustrated chapter book, The Teddington Teashop — a timeless tale of quiet courage, bright curiosity, and deep-rooted friendship.

In 2025, Kristina received the Coup de Cœur award, selected by juror John Howe (The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit), for her painting The Nymph of the Nideck Waterfall, created for the Châteaux Rhénans project competition.

Alongside her published work, Kristina’s studio practice has gradually moved toward a more contemplative direction. Her recent paintings approach watercolour as a symbolic language in which vision and dream take form without the need for narrative or translation into words. These works unfold as atmospheric inner landscapes, existing in the liminal space between memory and imagination, nature and myth.
