KKallweit

Hello, I am Kalynn Kallweit, I create art that is macabre with a surrealist quality and often very detailed. I incorporate many items and images in my paintings and sculptures from the natural and industrial world.The work I create comes from an interesting and elusive place. I can only describe the process like pulling dreams out of your subconscious into reality. That moment in waking, when something reminds you of this fantastic or… horribly odd dream you had last night. I am always trying to play the interpreter, and often I find my art reflects my own sarcastically ambivalent feelings concerning one subject or another.
I feel a great sense of satisfaction when a piece is far enough along that I can begin adding the finishing touches. There is a profound beauty in darkness and nature which I try to bring into art. I believe everything looks a little more intriguing when there are details, danger, and mystery involved.
