Kira BatI turn emotions, memories and fleeting inner states into something visible
Hi, I’m a contemporary artist and designer based in Belgrade, originally from Russia.
My work moves between abstraction, surrealism and figurative painting. I’m interested in emotions that are difficult to put into words — intimacy, tension, vulnerability, desire and the distance between people.
I work with oil, texture and metallic leaf, allowing the materials and the process to become part of the story. For me, painting is a form of meditation — a way to slow down, observe and give shape to what I feel.
My background in design shapes the way I think about composition, rhythm and balance. Painting allows me to move beyond function and follow intuition, emotion and experimentation.
Original works exploring the human figure
and the inner world.
Sacred imagery meets an ordinary human gesture. Smoking explores the contradiction between purity and desire, devotion and rebellion — the space where the saint and the sinner become the same person.
