Welcome to The Tribe Called Artflava.

Christopher Marie – Artist Bio (2025)

Vibrant, bold, and captivating — Artflava is where colour, culture, and curiosity collide. Founded by Melbourne-born artist Christopher Marie in 2015, Artflava began as a deeply personal journey back to painting after a 20-year hiatus and has since grown into a global circle of collectors and seekers.

Chris’s early training in painting, drawing, and design in the 1990s — followed by two decades as a commercial artist — gave him a unique lens: a fusion of fine art freedom and design precision. This duality fuels Artflava’s signature style, where every brushstroke carries a story of resilience, breath, and inner mastery.

In 2022, Chris built Artflava Haus — part gallery, part short-stay retreat — a living artwork inspired by Banksy’s hotels, where guests are immersed in modern, ever-evolving creativity.

Now in 2025, Artflava stands as more than an art brand — it is a movement, a celebration of transformation and connection. Through murals, fine art, and symbolic storytelling, Chris invites you to join the tribe and see the world in every shade it has to offer.
