This piece explores the feeling of comparing yourself to the person someone else chose — wondering if they were everything you weren’t. I wanted the reflection to feel distant and almost dreamlike, like the moment you realize you’re no longer part of someone’s picture.

About • Biography

Hi, I’m Kiara, a Cape Town-based artist exploring portraiture and emotional storytelling through painting and drawing. I started taking art more seriously as a way to reconnect with myself creatively, and I’m passionate about capturing emotion, real life experiences, and meaningful moments in my work. While I currently work in software engineering, art has become an important space for self-expression and growth in my life.
