Tunnel Vision

28 October 2022

“Tunnel Vision” is a series of works that dive deep into the unconsciousness and contain a stream of hidden messages. The bond between fiction and reality are tied strongly within each work, containing both the ordinary objects you find in daily life and the visuals of unusual imaginations. The abstract shapes in these compositions find a relationship through realistic forms, telling the story between dream and reality. Florez takes her interactions from daily life, nature, and fleeting scenes from dreams and translate it all into one large vision.

 

Kiara Florez is an artist who expands upon abstract painting with themes of spiritual philosophy and imaginative worlds. Since taking drawings seriously at 16 years old, her works have always created stories, play with vibrant colors, and develop a unique style. Her latest process on art has taken her works into a more intellectual design, invoking a deeper personal meaning to it as she navigates through her healing journey.

 

Her works are developed through an intuitive process in which she paints the images that appear during her meditations. Sometimes the images appear naturally from music or nature. The forms found on canvas can be depictions of human-like beings interacting with landscapes or other beings. Florez has always been drawn to spiritual concepts, other dimensions/worlds, and the inner self. She feels that her paintings are a way to be in touch with the mystical side of life.
