King of the Atlas Painting

My name is Keyla Graffe. I'm an artist specialized in realism, surrealism and abstract-realism. My work is a reflection of my inner connection with the world around me. Born and raised in Venezuela, my artistic journey has been shaped by the tumultuous backdrop of civil warn that forced me to seek solace elsewhere. Leaving my homeland, I embarked on a path of artistic exploration, channeling my experiences into soulful pieces. Living currently in Morocco has inspired me to create a series of paintings influenced by its cultural symbols like the Atlas Lion and the stunning fantasia horses that I had the privilege to see in a traditional festival in Marrakech. On a personal level, I love to create pieces that reflect the beautiful things in life and nature but also how everything has a wild and dark side to it. I explore different themes like identity, nature, and the connections we all share, using a variety of mediums to bring my ideas to life. Each piece I create is a journey of its own, combining bold, expressive strokes with delicate, detailed patterns, blending my two worlds into something unique. Art, to me, is all about connecting with people and sharing stories. I hope my work speaks to you and adds a bit of beauty and inspiration to your day.
