About
JOE kRESOJA
I am a Los Angeles–based painter working in oils, gouache, and acrylics. My practice includes figurative work with subtle esoteric undertones, landscapes developed both on site and in the studio, and abstract painting as a distinct genre. The work is defined by confident color relationships, decisive paint handling, and disciplined composition, informed by a background in visual design.
Color Codes are a focused, one-of-a-kind extension of this practice—commissioned paintings developed through a contained, intuitive process. All of the work is made for long-term living, emphasizing presence, clarity, and balance without reliance on narrative or effect.


COLOR CODES
A Gentle Mirror in Color
Color Codes are intuitive, commissioned paintings that translate your inner landscape into color, form, and spaciousness.
They’re not diagnostic. They’re not prescriptive.
They’re an invitation — a way to see yourself with softness, clarity, and curiosity.
Each piece becomes a companion for the chapter you’re in: a grounding presence, a reminder, a quiet truth held in color.
