Hi, I'm Kissyla Clarkson

I am a Brazilian artist based in The Hague, the Netherlands, working
primarily with oil painting on canvas. My practice explores the cycles
of transformation in nature through themes of permanence,
resilience, adaptation, and identity.

As an immigrant, I draw parallels between natural transformation
and my own experience of displacement and adaptation.
My work reflects on belonging, the feeling of making a new place
feel like home, and the possibility of adapting to new environments
without losing a sense of identity.

I explore the relationship between human experience and nature
through vivid colours and shifting elements of light, texture, shape,

and shadow. My background in Art Direction, developed through

more than ten years of experience in advertising and design,
stronglyinfluences the way I approach composition, colour, contrast,
and visual storytelling.

I am currently focused on deepening my research through oil
painting, exploring how observation, transformation, and personal
experience can come together to create visual narratives.
