Keneth Mena

Keneth David Mena (b. 2003) is a multidisciplinary artist working primarily in painting and ceramics. Born and raised in Queens, New York, they explore surrealist themes through vibrant, tactile forms that investigate human nature, identity, and transformation. Their work often straddles the line between the psychological and the symbolic, luring viewers into layered dreamscapes where reality bends, exploring themes of existence, identity, and mortality through bold symbolism and layered textures. Drawing inspiration from surrealism, cubism, and expressionism, Keneth Mena creates distorted figures and faces that evoke deep introspection, reflecting on the fragility of life, the inevitability of death, and the forces that connect them
