Artist Profile

Kaia’s work examines the duality of chaos and harmony, randomness and synchronicity. Embracing experimentation and chance, she uses a minimalist color palette to focus on the form of marks and their dynamics or stillness. Kaia's paintings are not intended to convey a specific idea, but rather represent her continuous attempt at tuning in with her vitality. Through somatic intuition she visually ex-presses her re-pressed creative subconscious that has been longing to speak out loud.
For many years since her early age she has been predominantly analytical, level-headed and rational, described by some as too serious and emotionless. She has been on the quest of finding happiness since the early teenage years devouring self-help books to find the answer on how to "fix" herself. Only in the past couple of years she made significant progress after having discovered that she is a gifted, highly sensitive person with a history of developmental trauma. It was a relief for Kaia to learn that her emotionlessness is actually a freeze response of her nervous system - a survival mechanism to cope with adverse experiences. Through her art Kaia is breaking free from past emotional constraints and advances toward intuitive freedom.
