Kyla

Madrid based artist from the Colorado Rocky Mountains.

I am an artist driven by the singular moments that come from the world around me, moments born in nature, the streets, through textures, color and movement. These close-ups help me discover the world’s raw beauty.  My work explores the patterns and forms that are often overlooked. When creating I am suspended in time. In this space, I am free to explore and experiment, allowing the work to evolve in its own rhythm. I lose myself. Compositions are everywhere.

Recently I have also ventured to reflect deeper into meaning and create pieces that also demand my perspective, my fears and the unpleasant realities of the world.  Although aesthetic beauty has its place in the calm, I have found there is a contradicting force that also pulls me where expression is more turbulent. I am currently working on a portfolio named “insecurities”.

My practice spans painting, photography and collage.  Each piece is a reflection of my journey and personal dialogue with the unseen that is ever-present but not always acknowledged.

Abstract art helps express and find connections to the world around me—connections to texture, color, sense of place, and  perspective.

My work is an invitation to pause, to observe, and to see a moment close up.
