KOMATSU RIKAKO KRIS KIRWAN
from WOC MAGAZINE
“About what it is to be human and what is our truth” In my teaching to children, I keep asking myself what it means to be human, what my mission is, and what the truth is. The truth common to human beings is learned through the growth of children. Children grow up fast And our lives are short. What should we learn in that time?
Rooted Together
Kris Kirwan is Lithuanian born Irish artist. Her technique is quite peculiar. It requires patience, discipline and preparation. It perfectly reflects her true character and belief that every dot is equally important and significant. She believes in a concept that a visual form consists of dots, the same way each of us consists of thoughts, feelings, events and unique experiences. Her paintings might look quite minimalistic, with plain backgrounds and fewer details, however, it provokes the viewer to look deeper and closer to find hundreds of thousands tiny dots. Geometrical and circular (mandala) elements symbolise perfection and orderly chaos that nature has created.
