Favorite quotes from favorite artists:

What is a television apparatus to man, who has only to shut his eyes to see the most inaccessible regions of the seen and the never seen, who has only to imagine in order to pierce through walls and cause all the planetary Baghdads of his dreams to rise from the dust.
                                                                     - Salvador Dali

I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality. 
                                                                          - Frida Kahlo

I live to make art

Welcome to KLLArt.com, the homepage of K.L. Landin, self-taught creator of original Paintings and Drawings

The art was always with me, like a journal, nay a pen pal, nay a slave to my spirit's inner, silent voice since early childhood. Through independent studies of traditional art and the history of art both worldwide and within the U.S I worked with constant experimentation and developed my lifelong skill into (what I have come to understand as) a divine gift I am grateful and responsible for. Exploration and the experience of working alongside my peers: creatures of creation yearning to communicate that singular language we share in our own local communities propels my life's calling as a contributing artist to earth in our contemporary time.

My love of figure drawing and oil painting has developed into a style of "figurative surrealism" which marries traditional methods with neo-contemporary themes. The experience and versatility acquired over time allows me to accept challenges of personalized commissions all which I am proud to have brought into reality.

There was a time when I was lost from art, there was a time when I was bathed then drowned in art. Here and now I am free to share my passion with the world while working fervently within the seclusion of my beloved studio. 

Commissions are welcome strictly by personal consultation appointments.

I would not be here if it weren't for you. All of you. You lovers, you haters. You bygone and forgotten. You beloved and remembered.

THANK YOU
