Kristen Vails,
artist
Using the horse as a vehicle for expression, Kristen's
work captures the spiritual aspects in nature that relate with the human
condition. Kristen finds that painting the horse in various natural
instances can carry a different meaning when human emotions are conveyed.
Through layers of latex, acrylic, and charcoal, Kristen
hopes to capture the movements of the horses, letting them fade in and out
to create an element of time and a sense of mystery. Sketched lines
remain in these layers, as in our lives the past remains important to our
futures, while areas of the image disappear mysteriously into the background
creating an urgent tension to grasp the image in its entirety.
Although her vehicle of expression duals with
self-examination, Kristen believes the viewer can relate the horse with
their own conditions through her conception of beauty.
Raised in Piedmont, Oklahoma, Kristen Vails attended the
University of Oklahoma, attaining a BFA in Painting.
