The Story Behind the Art
A Journey of Passion and Creativity
Kenan, David Art is not just about paintings; it’s about bringing a personal story to life on canvas. As an 83-year-old artist, I pour my years of experience, emotion, and joy into every piece I create. My love for abstract shapes that convey the vitality and light of the inner soul sparked my entry into the art world.
From Christie’s to Your Home
Having worked for seven years at Christie’s, one of the world’s most prestigious auction houses, I gained invaluable insight into the art market and the value of genuine creativity. Six staff auctions have included my works, a testament to their popularity and distinctiveness. I now sell my artwork directly to fans and collectors who appreciate sincere, one-of-a-kind pieces.
Art with Depth and Dimension
My signature style involves layering multiple coats of oil paint on canvas, creating rich textures that make each piece heavy, both physically and emotionally. The end effect is an assortment of contemporary abstract paintings that exude vitality and brightness, converting any area into a creative and beautiful sanctuary.
Limited Creations, Timeless Appeal
As a non-commercial artist, I focus on quality over quantity. Since I only produce a small amount of paintings, each one is unique. Sharing happy and inspiring experiences with people who value genuine originality is what my art is all about, not mass manufacturing.
Art as an Expression of the Soul
For me, art is more than just a visual experience; it’s a way to communicate the essence of the human spirit. My paintings establish a bond between the observer and the piece by capturing fleeting moments of happiness, light, and emotion. This relationship is what gives each piece its unique significance.
Bringing Light and Energy to Your Space
At David Kenan Art, my mission is to bring light, energy, and beauty into the world through modern abstract paintings. My art appeals to the soul and turns places into bright expressions of life, whether you’re an experienced collector or someone looking to infuse your home with more creativity.
