Freddy Flores Knistoff is a painter and poet born in Viña del Mar, Chile in 1948. He has lived in Amsterdam since 1985.

Flores Knistoff is still active in both painting and producing artist's books. He also composes experimental poetry and since 1993 has published with Hybriden-Verlag of Berlin[1] directed by Hartmut Andryczuk. He is strongly connected to the international movement FLUXUS.[2]

In recent years, he has exhibited in Brussels (2007), London (2012), New York City (2008 and 2012), Pennsylvania (2012)[3] and Oxford (2014).

He founded the Collective Automatic Painting of Amsterdam in 1991[4][5] and through this movement influenced other artists in the use of automatic painting.[6] Flores Knistoff is also an active member of the Phases movement that coalesced around Édouard Jaguer and involved Roberto Matta.[7][8]
