Artist of inspiration : Kikki Smith
The feminine essence in Kiki Smith’s work is powerful, intimate, and deeply symbolic. Her art explores themes such as corporeality, birth, vulnerability, and transformation, portraying women not only as individuals but also as archetypal figures connected to nature and the universe. Through the use of organic forms, mythological references, and personal narratives, Smith gives voice to the complex and layered experience of being a woman. Her work invites reflection on the strength, sensuality, and vulnerability inherent in the feminine.
