African Easel Art Gallery

Kila is a self-taught artist with a strong background in the arts, particularly the performing arts. This affinity for movement and dance reflects in his primary subject, the human body, which is infused with a kinetic energy within the paintings. The intensely realistic style he currently employs stems from a dedication to precision and detail in his work.

The sole use of black and white paint creates a striking and simple impression of highly defined contrasts. In addition Kila has recently started on a series of wildlife works, featuring elephant. The works shown here form part of a series with a strong African theme. Future projects include a series based on dreamscapes. Commissions welcomed.
