Artist Statement - Kami Kinnison
To me, art is a dance…a profound relationship of
movement, colors, lines, textures, and shapes. I am
completely intrigued by the exploration process
painting is for me. I love discovering what happens
when you put one color next to the other, one shape
next to another...the movement, the stillness, the tension,
the release. The entire process lights me up.
I have always believed that everything affects everything.
Every time I look at what's going on at any moment in
one of my paintings, it's exactly what is going on in
my life. Painting is a meditation, an intuitive process.
One brush stroke leads to the next. One movement
causes another. One direction can open an entire world
I didn't know existed.
I am inspired by the work of Pablo Picasso. I once saw
his work in person and wondered what he could have possibly
been thinking. What perspective was he looking from?
What was he thinking to paint images so intricate, yet so
simplistic at the same time?
I also love Jackson Pollock's work. He was totally
experimental and started a new movement in art history
simply by accident.
Thank you for the opportunity to share my passion in
life with you.
