Description
A Journey Through Past and Present
Childhood Art Series:
This piece from Kim Violenes’ Childhood Art series is inspired by a drawing she created at around age seven. Known for her deep love of dogs, Violenes’ character here enjoys a lively stroll with her furry best friend, embodying the joy and companionship she has always cherished. For Violenes, dogs are “the best thing on this earth,” adding warmth and affection to the piece.
The Childhood Art series is a playful fusion of her early sketches with her current painting style, blending innocence with experience. Now in her 40s, Violenes describes the creative process as a “dance between the younger me and who I am now,” resulting in pieces that are both deeply personal and humorously whimsical. Each artwork reflects a unique combination of nostalgia and refined skill, capturing the essence of her evolving journey as an artist while remaining rooted in the joy and spontaneity of her early years.
Song Inspired: Miserlou by Dick Dale
