Art allows me to connect with my creativity, growing up I always had a passion for art, immersing herself into an Airbrush business winning many awards and later following my dreams of exploring the world and creating narratives that deal with concepts of intelligence, connections, and fragility through painting and sculpture.
Artwork Themes & Subject Matter
Kym delves into the captivating realm of Anthropomorphism, exploring the intricate connection between human emotions and non-human entities, with a particular focus on the realm of animals.
Her artistic pursuit revolves around the expression of emotions, the distinct characteristics, moods, and personalities of these non-human subjects, and the profound ways in which we, as humans, connect with and interpret them. Anthropomorphism presents a multifaceted and intriguing field of study, where we project human emotions onto entities beyond our own kind.
Through the medium of animal sculpture, kym strives to infuse human emotions into these animal forms, with a particular emphasis on a series of sculptures that masterfully capture the essence of human emotions.
Kym Lee’s vision is to embrace profound philosophical themes, resonating with the beauty that surrounds us while inviting viewers to delve into the depths of the human experience.
