KAMILLA AKHMIN / THE ARTIST

My imagination does not stop at the edge of an image.

As an artist and writer, I explore the possibilities between images, narratives and objects. I am drawn to the way a single motif can begin an entire world.

ARTIST STATEMENT

An idea can give rise to many worlds.

I create images, write fiction and theatre pieces, and design concepts for characters, objects and brands. My work returns to the bond between companions, changing forms, memory and the passage of time.

I distinguish independent artworks from designs intended for commercial applications. One invites the viewer to discover a story; the other offers ways for an image to inhabit a home or become part of an object.

My digital workflow can include concept sketches, visual design and AI-assisted image making. Some studio scenes shown here are illustrative concepts, not documentary photographs.

“Worlds begin with curiosity.”
