Kita Hookaura

I am a London-based, self-taught artist. I work primarily in oil.
My practice explores poetry of life and its dualism through a vintage symbolism. I am drawn to atmospheric moments and deeper meanings of surrounding details. I use knowledge of history, classic literature, cinema, and music to frame my ideas into tangible visuals.
My main inspiration is a woman. I portray her in different scenarios, framed by lofty feelings of tender beauty that feel angelic yet have their dual side that gives its balance.
I don’t try to copy old masters, I employ a metamodern reinterpretation of slow art, combining different techniques to show my fantasy.
