Krystal Ball

Krystal Ball (b. 1991)  is a Jamaica-born artist. Her unique name is indicative of both the insight into self and the interpretive reflection of her environment which is pervasive in her work. Her work often incorporates a rich and striking use of colour and features the human figure and different natural motifs colliding with geometric shapes and patterns. These signature elements speak to her exploration of the black body in space, as well as the redefinition of, and resistance to, markers of identity and worth in the neo-colonial context. 

Krystal Ball is the recipient of the Visionary Women Scholarship, is distinguished in Jamaica as a two-time nominee for the Prime Minister Youth Award due to her contributions in the field of Arts and Culture, and has been recognized internationally for her artwork and creative social projects.
