Artist Statement:
Lira Kay’s paintings are
rooted in deep reflectiveness,
and it is of significance that
her educational background
includes the study of
Psychology. She also uses
meditative techniques to evoke
the deep energies which
underpin her work,
particularly her graphics.
The viewer will be struck by
the boldness and freedom of
her canvases. Influenced by
Kandinski, her paintings show
a vibrant appreciation of the
power of colour to communicate
energy.
Her work is largely abstract
or semi-abstract, and often
centres on archetypal images,
sometimes with a Shamanic
influence, sometimes acting
like mandalas or Russian
icons, providing a meditative
focus for the viewer.
As well as abstract paintings
there are representational
works inspired by traveling.
Her abstract paintings are
like snapshots of inner life,
reflections on key experiences
and feelings everyone goes
through. They start you
thinking and feeling. They
bring in the most intimate
feelings to do with the
spiritual, moral and physical
aspects of our lives.
