Kiki Klimt
Painting
Nutopia
Kiki Klimt's approach to her work is truly unique, transcending the rigid boundaries established in our society since the Renaissance. She sees the realms of philosophy, science, and art as intricately intertwined, each playing a vital role in deepening our understanding of the world around us. Her artistic endeavours are deeply rooted in profound ontological and philosophical questions she seeks to illuminate through a blend of ancient wisdom and contemporary scientific approach. With over 25 years of experience, Kiki has passionately navigated the art world as both a professor and a professional artist, exploring a diverse array of visual media. She graduated in painting, finished postgraduate study in sculpture at ALUO in Ljubljana and later obtained a PhD in Painting and Visual Theory. She has been a professor at different universities and schools. Her works have been exhibited in galleries in New York, Berlin, Zagreb, Ljubljana, etc. Throughout her journey, she has utilised various medias and techniques to express complex ideas and emotions. Recently, she has reached a stage of maturity in her artistic practice that allows her to weave these diverse threads together into a rich, cohesive narrative. Through her work, she now creates stories that resonate deeply, employing visual language as her most eloquent means of communication.

Arkanum graphic poems are 7 books without words. I am telling them in magical visual language, with numbers, geometry, colours, symbols, and enigmas of long-forgotten symbols. Some kind of Wojinowich manuscript, but in my way. I have been researching the visual language for many years in visual theory books (Arnheim, Kandinsky, Klee, IPD.), ancient art, architecture and scripts, myths and legends, books written by wise men, mystics, prophets and saints on the one hand and on the other books written by contemporary science and philosophy, cognitive science, … to finally incorporate them in my book. It took me 11 years to finish it.
