Art with soul
Handmade work in painted steel, painting, ceramics, and more — a small group of makers, each with their own hand and material.
Kris Dorsz and Friends brings together a small group of artists based across Spain, Germany, and Poland, each working from their own studio in painted steel, painting, or ceramics. Kris Dorsz himself works in painted steel and carved stone, based in southern Spain for more than 35 years; the collective's work has found its way into private gardens and collections across Europe, and into public commissions closer to home, from stone donated to a museum in Poland to trophies made for the Feria de Algeciras.
Kris Dorsz's own practice traces back to 2005, when early experiments with paper-mâché opened the door into sculpture and painting. What followed was years of testing material directly by hand — wood, glass, stone, bronze — before painted steel became the primary language. That same hands-on approach is passed on through workshops for young artists in both Spain and Poland.

Common questions
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. Every piece is packed by hand to match its material — cushioned and crated for painted steel, boxed with extra padding for ceramics and paintings — and shipped worldwide. Get in touch before ordering for a shipping estimate to your country.
Is every piece really one of a kind?
Yes. Nothing here is cast from a mold or printed. Each piece is worked by hand from start to finish, so even pieces that share a title or design will carry small differences that come from the making.
Can I request a different size or color?
Often, yes — that's what the Commissions page is for. Sizes, finishes, and colors can usually be adapted to a specific space; get in touch with the piece or artist in mind and they'll tell you what's possible.
How do I care for a piece?
It depends on the material — painted steel does best kept out of direct salt spray outdoors, ceramics and paintings are best kept dry and out of direct sun. Specific care notes for any piece are available on request.
How do I know a piece is authentic?
Every piece sold through this site comes directly from the artist who made it, with the details on its page — material, year, dimensions — matching the physical piece. If anything's unclear, ask before you buy.
