About | Specializing in contemporary portraiture and figurative work, Kseniya Galper’s unique style blends influences from multiple cultural aesthetics. She goes beyond just describing the form. Each one of her canvases tells a story that captures the mood, the moment, and emotion of the subject — always leaving just a little open for the viewer’s interpretation.

Combining various techniques, often shifting between a quilt of abstract geometric shapes and tightly rendered details within the same canvas, Galper creates a playfulness that blends familiar reality and imagination. A new piece starts with meticulously drawing out every geometric shape, angle, shadow, and highlight of the composition. This approach creates a unique energy that takes a painting from conventional to slightly surreal.
