Farina Kuklinski moves fluidly between painting and illustration. Her pieces evolve intuitively from quick sketches into fully realized illustrations or paintings. Colors, plants, and organic forms shape her motifs — sometimes light and playful, sometimes bold and pared down. This balance of experimentation and a clear, recognizable style defines her artistic approach. Often, it is the unplanned moments in the process that bring a work to life and give it character.

Farina’s work spans three creative areas: as an artist, she brings ideas to life on canvas; as an illustrator, she creates hand-drawn and digital illustrations for clients big and small, and sells her postcards and prints online and in shops across Germany, and as a founder, she is one of three co-creators of Juwel, a vibrant creative space in Cologne where ideas, people, and inspiration come together.
