Kristina Adamson, a visionary multidisciplinary artist and art therapist in training, is carving out a unique niche in the art world by emphasizing the transformative power of creativity. Born in Almaty, Kazakhstan, Kristina has turned a lifelong passion for artistic expression into a mission to help others heal and grow through art. Based in Dubai, she brings a fresh perspective to the city’s cultural and wellness landscape, focusing on art workshops and therapy rather than yoga, which remains a complementary element of her journey.
Kristina’s academic foundation includes a Master’s Degree in Pedagogical Education from Saint Petersburg and a diploma in Design from Fabergé Decorative Arts College, Moscow. Her pursuit of excellence continues with art therapy studies at the Moscow Institute of Clinical Psychology. She has refined her artistic skills through hyper realistic painting workshops with renowned artists like Omar Ortiz, Fabiano Millani, and Antonio Castello Avilleira, elevating her craft to international acclaim.

Kristina’s expertise lies in creating immersive workshops that leverage fine art as a medium for self-awareness and emotional healing. Her work spans oil, acrylic, watercolor, and mixed media, offering participants an avenue to explore their inner world through creative expression.
Vision for Collaboration: Art at the Heart of Wellness
Kristina is seeking partnerships with wellness-focused organizations, including Sohum Wellness Sanctuary, to integrate art-based therapeutic workshops into their programs. Her proposed initiatives include:
- Transformative Art Therapy Sessions: Guided creative activities designed to unlock emotional resilience and foster personal growth.
- Art as a Mindfulness Practice: Workshops that combine painting with meditative techniques, cultivating focus and relaxation.
- Holistic Creativity Programs: Unique experiences that empower individuals to explore their inner selves through artistic exploration.
“I see art as a bridge between emotion and expression, offering an unparalleled way to process and transform experiences,” shares Kristina. “Through collaboration, I aim to create spaces where people can reconnect with themselves and find clarity, healing, and joy.”
Her vision extends beyond therapy rooms, aspiring to make art workshops accessible to a wider audience, including corporate wellness programs and community events.
