Krystal Pérez is a first-generation Cuban-American multidisciplinary artist based in Portland, Oregon, with roots in Miami, Florida. Working across oil, acrylic, ink, gouache, printmaking, and digital media, she weaves cultural narratives, personal experiences and moments of solace into her visual storytelling.

With a background in cultural anthropology, Pérez explores the intersection of everyday life, nature, and the mundane. Her Cuban identity is a central influence, reflected in warm Caribbean color palettes and familiar cultural motifs. Blending old-world illustration influences with contemporary perspectives, her work simultaneously offers both a nostalgic reflection and a fresh lens on the human experience.
