Ayla Kaarin

It all starts with me, a pencil and a blank page.

I am a multi-diciplinary artist from Melbourne. I immerse myself in captivating the realms of figurative art, cityscapes, and portraiture, inviting the viewers into a world where stories unfold.

Using an extensive repetorie of meduims such as oil,/soft pastel, ink, charcoal and paint to masterfully bring subjects to life, infusing vibrance, narratives, emotions and a distinct visual language as a focal point and catalyst for conversation.

My current body of work is representational that we can exist in more than one place at a time, as it is not only our physical form that is in existence. Delving into the intricacies of human expression, the essence of movement and human connection is a core aspect of my practice.Every element is strategically placed and is intentional.

I strive to capture moments in time that will never exist again. I look at it as capturing the essence of individuals and who they chose to be at that particular point in time. It's the silent interations and unheard conversations that are displayed through body language, movement and expression that captivates.

I have taken numerous private classes under the mentorship from artists that have played a huge role in assisting me to develop my skill level as an artist.
