KANIA GIANA

A visual artist who was born and bred in Jakarta, then moved to Bali, her second home. She was brought up in advertising industry, still with a passion for art always in her mind, practicing it as a hobby. But after years of working, Kania finally had the guts to take the time off she needed to focus only to explore her love for paintings. Having an educational background so far away from the art major, which is economy, Kania is self taught. She explores day to day from pencil, watercolor, colored pencil, gouache, then gotten attached to acrylic paint. Her picks of color slowly directed to the spectrums of neon, as she has an obsession of the palette chosen in Dario Argento’s films. Having a quirk in observing people. she is passionate on portraits and figures. She started painting almost all of her friends and family, then strangers.
