The Artist behind TK.

“tHE ABILITY TO EXPRESS MYSELF IN MANNER THAT SURPASSES SPEECH AND DIALOGUE IS WHAT DRAWS ME TO BEING AN ARTIST.”

Theresia Kyalo

Kyalo finds her voice and expresses herself through minimal art. Exploring interactions in daily life through the mediums of line drawing, metal work and film. Abstract shapes, figures, metal and textiles are Kyalo’s preferred mediums of expression. Always paying attention to lines, symmetry and movement -  inviting the viewer to see a different art technique in diverse ways.
