Read MoreKiki Klimt developed her painting technique, based on DaVinci's sfumato, “Painting with light“. It is a unique way of painting based on ancient knowledge, contemporary science, and her study and experience. "Painting with light "combines the physical, emotional, and rational aspects of painting. Kiki Klimt is painting in the opposite direction than most painters. Instead of applying lighter or darker shades generated by an external light source, she uses colours in their internal irradiation, their inner light. She removes material and replaces it with the light within the atom. But that is only one part of telling the story. The other part is in an ancient language of numbers and geometry, the base of objective visual language.
She graduated from painting in 1997, finished her master's degree in sculpture, and in 2009 got a doctorate in art. She was a guest professor at universities in Istanbul, Sofia and Lisbon. Today she is a pro-dean at Arthouse College for Art in Ljubljana. Her works were present in galleries in New York, Berlin, Zagreb, Ljubljana, etc.
She moves mostly within art all her life, but she often wonders in search of understanding - from mythology, ancient spiritual writings, modern physics and chemistry to cosmology, mathematics, history and philosophy. She experimented with conceptual art, photography, performance, installation, illustration, and design.
