Born in the Big Apple- New York City, from a young age Cris Woloszak was destined for big
things. Growing up Cris fell in love with fast cars and when his family moved down to South Florida Cris
found a new passion; the ocean. Cris took his love of custom painted cars, combined with his new love
for marine life and in 2005 launched his Jaws of Fire Collection. This collection is a combination of
automotive paint and hand laid flames airbrushed onto a fiberglass marine taxidermy mold. The first
shark Cris placed in an art gallery sold within 3 hours of being hung on the wall. The rest of his success
soon followed.
From the Jaws of Fire collection, Cris then expanded to Metal Aluminations. Aluminations are
custom painted works of art hand ground into Aluminum than candied with custom automotive paint
colors. The combination of grinding and artwork hand done on these pieces was a partnership made to
be eye candy and sparked the interest of galleries across the country.
With an ever expanding collector base in 2011 Cris caught the eye of Disney Fine Art. His unique
paint combinations, way of making metal work come to life and talent for creating light on his artwork,
made him a perfect fit for a licensed Disney Artist.
Each piece Cris makes is a reflection on his everyday life mixing vibrant candy colors with marine
surroundings. No two pieces will ever be exactly the same due to the fact that they are all originals,
which make all of his pieces highly collectable. The pieces he makes are made from the finest materials
including custom hand mixed candy colors, cut and grinded aluminum, hand laid flame, tribal and other
designs taking an extensive amount of time for the pieces to come to perfection.
Cris currently lives in the Space Coast of Florida where he surrounds himself with his passions:
Surfing, Classic Cars and Marine wildlife. He is always working on new pieces including custom
commission pieces from his home studio and plans on continuing developing and expanding new
artwork with Jaws of Fire, Alumination works as well as Disney Fine Art. His newest works include a
stained Glass line on metal with a range of themes including some Disney. The stained glass metal
collection has brought Cris’ artwork to a new level of excellence and has had rave reviews since
launching in early 2015. We couldn’t be more excited for what the future looks like for Cris X Art.

Cris X’s art career began with his custom painted marine wildlife. Each piece begins as a fiberglass taxidermy blank—an extensive amount of labor is performed to finally achieve the flawless finish Cris is known for. Multiple rounds of sanding and priming lay the groundwork for the 30 to 40 layers of candy colors and clear coating that Cris applies to each shark, ray, fish and Aluminated Metal.
