The portfolio website of Mimi K. Artist, painter, illustrator, jack of all trades.
24 year old jewish artist from NY. I draw wherever I go. I make art because there is nothing I'd rather do for the rest of my life than make art. Not to sound dramatic or anything, I'm being honest! I make art because... art is light in darkness, it's possibility, it's expression and emotion. It's inspiration, it's frustration, it's feeling and energy. Art is beauty and ugliness and reality and the abstract. Art is community and protest and voice, it's connection, and disconnect. Art is something bigger than can be comprehended, and it's also very simple and small and understandable at the same time. Art is release, it's work, it's impossible and difficult joyous and rewarding. I think everyone is capable of making art, and I'd happily give up the goal of being 'the best' if it meant no one gave up on making things because they felt they weren't any good at it, if it meant no one beat themselves up over their work. A bit idealistic, especially for someone with no aspirations of teaching art, but. I try to lead by example nonetheless. |
