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]
