K BLICK ARTIST

Artist Statement
 

Since 2019, I have explored visual distortion, discontinuity, and dynamic movement, drawing upon Greek and Roman mythology as well as global folklore. Through swathes of colour and gestural brushwork, my compositions merge human figures, flora, and fauna into shifting, unified landscapes that envision a more balanced and compassionate relationship between humanity and nature.

 

My practice examines symbolic attributes and power structures, tracing the complex interplay between ecology, myth, and human relationships. By distorting mythological narratives, I challenge the anthropocentric perspectives that have long shaped our understanding of the world. These reinterpretations question historical hierarchies and reveal the fragile equilibrium between human and nonhuman life.

 

I employ dynamic distortions of form to evoke a Baroque pictorial sensibility. Filtered through the lenses of mythology, history, time, and memory, each work becomes a layered site of narrative and emotion, where clarity and confusion coexist. I am particularly drawn to the symbolic weight of allegorical creatures and objects, whose presence operates as a conduit for emotional and philosophical reflection within the pictorial field.
