MY NAME IS KINØ

I’M A STORYTELLER. MAYBE NOT IN THE WAY THAT MOST ARE USED TO, BUT IF A PICTURE SPEAKS A THOUSAND WORDS, THEN I HAVE NOVELS FROM MY YOUNG YEARS, EXPLORING THE ART OF PHOTOGRAPHY. MY PROCESS, FOR ALL MY ART MEDIUMS, HEAVILY REVOLVES AROUND ONE MAIN THEME; HAROLDING HAPPINESS AND JOY. WHETHER IT’S MADE APPARENTLY OBVIOUS, SUCH AS MY PHOTOJOURNALISM OF THE SMILES I COME ACROSS IN MY TRAVELS, OR MORE SUBTLE, SIMILAR TO MY SHOWCASING OF UNDERWATER BEAUTY IN HOPES OF BREAKING STIGMAS AND PROMOTING LOVE FOR OUR EARTH AND HER CREATURES. EVEN IN MY JEWELRY DESIGN, I GRAVITATE TOWARDS CARTOONISH, ALMOST CHILDLIKE WONDROUS PIECES, MADE TO BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE. THIS ISN’T TO SAY, HOWEVER, MY ART ISN’T CONFRONTATIONAL, AS I DEFEND MY OWN PEACE, AND ENCOURAGE VIEWERS TO DO THE SAME. BUT TO ME, THE PURPOSE OF ART OF ANY KIND I MAKE IS TO BRING JOY TO THE COMMUNITY AROUND ME, WITH SHITTY JOKES, PLAYFUL DESIGNS, DOCUMENTATION OF DIFFERENT CULTURAL TAKES ON THAT WARM TINGLING IN YOUR CHEEKS, AND OF COURSE, IMAGES OF THE NATURAL BEAUTY, SERENITY AND CONNECTION TO ALL LIFE, WE OFTEN TAKE FOR GRANTED.
