About Kahlia

Graduating from California State University, Northridge with a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Art, Kahlia embarked on a remarkable artistic journey that expanded her creative horizons and led her to discover the captivating realm of fluid painting. Fluid painting is an expressive technique where paint is mixed and poured onto a surface in a smooth and flowing manner, creating organic wild shapes, harmonious colors, patterns and textures. With an unwavering curiosity and an insatiable appetite for exploration, she finds inspiration in the boundless beauty of nature, the enchanting sea and life beneath and exotic wild animals that grace our planet. Drawn to the fluidity and organic movement found in these elements, she began experimenting with fluid painting techniques, realizing the potential to create mesmerizing and immersive artworks. Through countless hours of dedication and practice, she honed her skills in fluid painting, transforming it into her signature style. Every painting is its own journey. Each color of paint poured onto the canvas becomes a dance of controlled chaos, resulting in artworks that mirror the harmony and rhythm of the natural world. With the use of different paints and mixing mediums, Kahlia creates smooth fluidity in her pieces that cannot be replicated. These special paint mixtures interact with one another and cause a chemical reaction within the paint that create fascinating patterns and unique cell formations that float gracefully across the canvas. Her works bring an energy and creative light to a blank canvas that is wildly unpredictable. With her original and refreshing approach, Kahlia aims to bring about a feeling in her art transporting you away to some far off place, allowing the viewer to take part in the creative energy of fluidity which surrounds her work.
