Aimi Kaiya Thailand, b. 1989

Aimi Kaiya, living in Bangkok - Thailand, is a contemporary artist best known for her works on paper and canvas using acrylic paint, oil paint, oil sticks, charcoal, soft pastel, and spray paint. Trained as clinial psychologist, her semi-abstract works are marked by distinctive marks on the canvas, using vivid colors to create lyrical and minimal compositions marked by a gritty surface and rough edges. Kaiya is interested in the power of painting’s —almost naïve— celebrations of everyday life, encompassing glimpses of nature and life’s ephemeral beauty in simplicity, depicting flowers, lakes, the sky, or formal motifs such as vertical bands of color.
