About the artwork:
"Where the Wild Still Lives" began with the image of a leopard living on the artist's land in South Africa. Yet as the painting evolved, the animal gradually dissolved into the landscape itself, becoming less a portrait and more a sensation—a fleeting presence emerging from memory, movement and intuition.
Having only been captured a few times by a night camera and occasionally leaving paw prints around the studio, the elusive leopard became a symbol of something far greater: the enduring mystery of wild nature.
Layers of gestural marks, translucent passages and fragments of organic forms create a dynamic surface that oscillates between abstraction and recognition. Hints of flowers, feathers and vegetation appear and disappear, inviting the viewer into a world where certainty gives way to atmosphere and instinct.
Rather than depicting nature, the work evokes the experience of it—the awareness that somewhere beyond our sight, something ancient still moves unseen.
For Kristin Kossi, whose recent work is deeply influenced by the remote landscape surrounding the Kossi Private Nature Reserve, this mystery represents the greatest luxury of all: the existence of places where the wild still lives on.
Original artwork. One of a kind.

Original work delivered with a certificate of authenticity by Kristin Kossi.
My work lives at the intersection of bold pop culture and personal reflection. Through layered textures, iconic characters, and unexpected juxtapositions, I explore the contradictions of modern life — glamour and grit, success and satire, chaos and clarity. Much of my work reimagines familiar faces — from cartoon legends to luxury icons — not to glorify them, but to question them, twist them, and ultimately make them my own. Characters like Mr. Monopoly, Bugs Bunny, or Homer Simpson become vessels to talk about ambition, abundance, and the absurdity of our times. It’s all pop — but it’s also deeply personal.
At the heart of it, I believe in art as transformation. I believe in creativity not just as a medium, but as a way of life — to shift perspective, to provoke thought, and to connect.
