Kurtis Rykovich’s creatures are full of allure, his graceful subjects embody both the darkness and the light. Often his muses are accompanied by some kind of symbolic spirit creature which he explains is meant to blur the line between who influences who in the relationship.
Kurtis enjoys going to antique and used stores on the hunt for inspiration and when he isn’t painting, he tries to keep his mind free, which he admits isn’t easy.
He obtained his MFA at the University of Nevada Las Vegas.
