Kira Somerset is an emerging artist, whose work explores the materiality of paint—its texture, depth, and movement. She transforms pigment into immersive, tactile landscapes that invite viewers to engage not only visually but viscerally.

A painter since childhood, Kira’s practice has evolved into an obsession. From a distance, her paintings appear fluid and harmonious; up close, they reveal intricate layers of detail, where each brushstroke, splatter, and sewn thread contributes to a rich, evolving narrative. This balance between chaos and control, spontaneity and precision, defines her artistic process.

Kira’s work shifts with light and movement, revealing new details over time. Her paintings invite viewers to delve into landscapes both familiar and otherworldly.

Her signature use of sewing adds a sculptural dimension to the work, mirroring the layered, meditative process of her mark-making. Each piece unfolds over months—built, erased, and rebuilt—until the surface hums with a sense of presence.

This slow, almost ritualistic approach to creation gives each painting its own life, making it impossible to replicate; to recreate even one would take a lifetime.
