He was born on Sygard Holbø in [[Vågå]] in [[Oppland]] county, [[Norway]]. He studied under [[Knud Bergslien]] in 1890, [[Eilif Peterssen]] and [[Harriet Backer]] in 1893 and 1894, and under [[Kristian Zahrtmann]] during the winters from 1897 to 1902.
His painting had a distinctly home-like tone, with a broad brush and robust palette often portrayed his home village and surrounding mountains of [[Gudbrandsdalen]]. He is represented with eleven paintings and two illustrations in the [[National Gallery of Norway]].<ref name=snl>{{cite encyclopedia |year=2007 |title=Holbø, Kristen |encyclopedia=Aschehoug og Gyldendals Store norske leksikon |publisher=Kunnskapsforlaget |location= |url=http://www.snl.no/.nbl_biografi/Kristen_Holb%C3%B8/utdypning }}</ref>
