Kinia Kik, is an artist who has lived in London and Southern England since 1995. Her work is an expression of her intuitive self, born out of her dreams and emotional response to the world. She is a ‘woman who runs with the wolves’, driven by a spiritual intrigue for the wildness of being, the folk mythology, carnival… and the dream.
“The masks are fascinating for me. I was hiding behind them for most of my life. They appear in my collages, in paintings, sculptures and in my animations. In the tranquillity of my studio, I completely submit to the creative process, this divine power speaks through me
and I listen. I explore materials, techniques and colours. It is fascinating for me that sometimes I have no idea what the end result will show. My inspiration is a palette of colours of my life, each day, every person I meet, my fascination for the art of other artists,
as well as my knowledge and life experience. “
