About “I AM ART”
I AM ART is a bold and nostalgic piece within Kim Violenes’ portfolio, where she revisits her teenage doodles with a refined, modern touch. Originally created as a marker drawing when she was 16, Violenes recalls taking doodling to an extreme, drawing for sheer enjoyment without overthinking the result. In this reinterpretation, her character wears a headwrap adorned with elements from the original doodle, with playful tentacle shapes woven into her necklace. Layered with acrylics on newspaper and finished with a glossy varnish, this piece bridges youthful freedom with the sophistication of her current artistic style.
About the Childhood Art Series
The Childhood Art series is an imaginative fusion of Violenes’ early drawings and her present-day painting style. Each piece is a visual conversation between her past and present selves, embodying the joy, humor, and authenticity of her childhood art, combined with the depth and technique of her artistic evolution. She describes this process as a “dance between the younger me and who I am now,” resulting in artworks that are both deeply personal and charmingly eccentric. This series captures the essence of her creative journey, offering a playful, yet profound exploration of her identity as an artist.
“Find what makes you feel most alive and go after it.”
With I AM ART, Violenes invites viewers to experience the magic of rediscovering one’s roots, embracing both the lighthearted and introspective aspects of the creative process.
