Linden

by Kristin Lane

“As a fine artist specializing in abstract portraiture, my work is a deeply personal exploration of human connection. Each portrait I create is rooted in the reality of the people I know, yet it transcends the physical to capture the essence of how I perceive their energy. The abstraction in my work is my attempt to encapsulate a multidimensional moment of emotion—a fleeting, yet profound, expression of the human spirit. Kindness and inclusion are the cornerstones of my practice. I strive to create beauty that challenges the viewer, inviting them to engage with what they see on a deeper level. My hope is that in recognizing the emotions conveyed in my work, viewers might also recognize these feelings within themselves. Through my art, I subtly underscore the shared traits that bind us together while highlighting the unique individuality of each subject. In this way, my portraits are not just depictions of others, but reflections of my own journey as an artist and a person.”
