About Kevin Komadina

In my career as a critical care physician, I witnessed the struggle of life and death and its profound effects on the families of patients. I was privileged to witness the power of human touch, love, and compassion in the healing of patients and the comforting of families. I have always enjoyed art as a creative outlet making ceramic art: pottery, murals, and large sculptures. I decided to start painting by simply making marks on a canvas. From there I expanded my exploration and study to create representational works. While I admire all styles of painting, I am drawn to works including the figure, and the footprints of humankind in the world. I seek to portray the richness and variety of the human experience, celebrating our individuality, diversity, interconnectedness, and impermanence. Most of my paintings involve partial and varied viewing angles reminding us that there is always a different way of looking at the world, and more to the story than meets the eye.
