ORIGINAL abstract ViViD! art 16" insomnia painting KIRA

"Insomnia #8"
(8th in series)
An original painting by Kira Ayn Varszegi

 About this Series 

Including the pieces in the "A Little Bit of Insomnia" ACEO series, these are paintings that I've created during a sleep-deprived state lasting 30+ hours (usually longer.) Falling asleep is currently a challenge for me 1-3 times a week. Transient onset insomnia is a symptom of stress & anxiety disorders, and a side effect of the medication I'm prescribed for Attention Deficit Disorder. I'm usually physically exhausted but mentally alert during the painting process. My mental capacities begin to fail (and hallucinations are more likely to occur) the longer I'm awake. The styles/methods/mediums used in this series will vary depending on my level of alertness.

 About the Artist 

I'm a credible, well-documented professional artist/photographer, best known for my breast paintings and past collaborative projects with Koopa the turtle (now retired from painting.) My body of work is largely abstract and colorful with neutrals available somewhat rarely. I've been offering fine art breast paintings on eBay since 2001. I'm the first internet-based professional to treat the method as a fine art rather than a novelty/fundraiser/fetish. I enjoy working in different styles and finding new ways to get my medium onto my support. I paint with brushes, palette knives, various body parts, toys (wind-up, RC, etc.) and fruits & vegetables. Familiar mediums include oil, acrylic, tempera, gouache, crayons, cocoa, coffee, red wine, strawberries/cherries/blueberries and melted chocolate.

Much of my work is the result of experimentation with elements, heat, time, gravity and acceleration. My photography is varied - industrial, scenic, macro, long exposure, B & W and/or digitally manipulated. A varied, complementary palette and well-balanced composition are always essential to me.

More about me...

All of my work is fully documented, archived, signed & dated, and preserved to last many years. I'm always available to answer questions for you. I suggest you read my feedback if you have any question about the quality or originality of my work.
