“I’m not concern about how to define or classify my work; a medium is only a tool, not a purpose itself. I use many kinds of mediums because like the human body and all manifestations of nature, diversity is our strength, is what gives our species beauty, and what allows for full expression of the living experience. By means of their rare beauty and humor, my characters would want to stir our thoughts, provoke us feelings, evoke memories or create fantasies.” P.K.

Thirty-three year old Patricia Krebs grew up in Argentina, where she graduated with degrees in Fine Arts Education, Painting, and Contemporary Visual Arts. She moved to Los Angeles eight years ago. 

Over the last years, Krebs has had the chance to work in collaboration with artists, writers, actors, artisans, musicians and educators on many projects, in the capacity of a singer, songwriter, producer, illustrator, portraitist, caricaturist, muralist, graphic designer, and creating puppets, props, set design, costumes and theatrical makeup.

In her work, whatever the medium, Krebs talks about life: the complexity of humanity, the connections within ourselves, between each other, to the Earth. 

Lately, Krebs has been working on two series where she combines disassembled electronics, recycled objects, and found natural elements: "Guardianas,” strong female protectors of the earthly realm who can also inspire our dreams in a playful way; and "Animas in the Matrix,” soulful spirits in the machine.

Krebs' art work have been published in books, CD covers, magazine articles and educational posters. She has designed books and book covers for publishers and illustrated children's picture books.

Her work was selected for the Latino Heritage Month 2007, 2008 & 2009 Cultural Guides, presented by the Mayor and published by the Department of Cultural Affairs of the City of Los Angeles, and also selected out of hundreds to be featured on the 2009 invitations for the LHM Opening Celebration. Recently, her illustrations were featured in Decisio Magazine#20, published by the Center of Regional Cooperation for the Education of Adults in Latin America and the Caribbean, CREFAL, sponsored by UNESCO and the Mexican Government.
