Marie KVK is an international artist born in Minneapolis, USA in 1980. She began her painting career in New York City in 2004 after completing four years of college in Minneapolis, USA and Madrid, Spain in 2002. The artist has traveled the globe and worked for extended periods in the urban environments of New York City (2004-2009), Paris (2009-2010) and London (2010-2014). Since 2014, her painting studio, Atelier Marie KVK, is located in Provence, France where she lives with her family.

Marie KVK’s paintings are 100% hand painted. They are ultra contemporary and exquisitely finished on the highest quality canvas. The PIXELS series focuses on strong and beautiful women, both real and fictional. These include icons of the past and present, contemporary women, cartoon characters and of course the most popular of his paintings, the Mona Lisa in PIXELS. All paintings are hand painted and unique. Marie KVK’s paintings reveal the simplest modern element, the PIXEL, which may contain a suggestion of a deeper discovery, or the obscurity of detail. The very similar, but completely abstract series, VALENTINA, is a joyful series about color and balance.
