Kris Kirwan is Lithuanian born Irish artist. Her technique is quite peculiar. It requires patience, time and dedication. It perfectly reflects her true character and belief that every dot is equally important and significant. She believes in a concept that a visual form consists of dots, the same way each of us consists of thoughts, feelings, events and unique experiences. Her paintings might look quite minimalistic, with plain backgrounds and fewer details, however, it provokes the viewer to look deeper and closer to find hundreds of thousands tiny dots. Her current work includes some still floral arrangements reflecting peacefulness and mindfulness as well as trees with their storytelling intent that a viewer has to relate and continue to create further. ‘I would like the viewer to see dots in my paintings before they see the painting as the whole. And if people look close enough, they can become a part of the creation… Maybe, they will be able to see and relate these single naked dots to uniqueness of our human nature - individuality, connectivity, simplicity, complexity and so much more’, Kris says. Our world is made out of dots. Each dot is the most important one, totally unique and can never be underestimated!’
