Arte Kinari

Daniela Frank, artistically known as Kinari, was born in Germany in 1971, and has developed an outstanding international career that transcends geographical and cultural borders. After living more than two decades in Spain, her artistic identity reflects a fusion of global influences, consolidating herself as a citizen of the world in the broadest sense of the word. This cosmopolitan vision is deeply intertwined with her art, in which she explores universal themes such as the intrinsic connection between humanity and the natural environment, life through the face and skin of the human being.
In her portraits, she explores the deep connection between the human spirit and the natural world, a symbiotic relationship often forgotten in the hustle and bustle of modern life.
Using a wide range of mixed media (charcoal, graphite, coffee, chalk, watercolors, leaf collages dry and pages of aged books...) she seeks to discover the narratives of life engraved on people's faces, the human face, in all its vulnerability and resistance, it is a landscape of experience, memory and passions. Every line, shadow and expression is subtle reflection of lives and ancestors, like the rings of a tree or the veins of a leaf.

Watercolors bleed into her...
