'Treasure Boxes - Brown and Gold' / KIM BARSKY Painting

I grew up surrounded by art and artists and have never considered doing anything else other than painting. Born and raised in the UK by Danish/Polish parents and having relatives all over the world, I was fortunate enough to be influenced by multiple cultures. I am a free and expressive painter who gains inspiration from the very act of being alive. I am a self taught artist, never desiring the the restraints of structure, guidelines and rules. I work predominantly in acrylic, as I love the spontaneity they offer, but I do love to experiment with other mediums. My work has sold to collectors in Denmark, Spain, France, Iceland, Thailand and the USA, as well as in my native UK. I hope my art enables the viewer to make some personal and emotional connection with my work, as well as finding it aesthetically pleasing.
