"Connection"
This mural is part of a personal project that I have been developing since the beginning of the year together with the artist-in-residence program of @the_nature_of_cities and @beyondtreesnetwork . I am finally executing it now starting in the city of Miami, simultaneously in Santo Domingo and later in other locations.
"Connection" is about how all human beings are connected through nature, in this case migratory birds and specifically the Cape May Warbler (a bird that migrates from Canada, through the United States to the Dominican Republic). Also how to contribute to the conservation of these species in their migratory journey and how they interact with populations from different cities (Hot Spots) thus achieving a beautiful channel that unites people from different places.
Kilia Llano is a multidisciplinary artist from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Her realistic/impressionist style is committed to capturing human emotions and their environment, the social world in which they develop, but also the relationship with nature based on our humanity, and how our personal experiences transform the way we relate and see the world around us. Kilia got her BFA (Fine Arts and Illustration) at Chavón School of Design (DR) and Parsons School of design (NY), among other minor studies at Universidad Autónoma of Barcelona (Ancient Art History) and UNIBE university (Art Education), where she developed her interest in different painting and drawing techniques, to be able to portrait the imaginary and real world that she represents in her paintings, murals and illustrations. A visionary artist, Kilia pushes her knowledge of traditional techniques and convert it in a unique, modern, and strong style, and is also committed to teach the future generation of artists. Her work has been exhibited in many places in the DR but also outside (USA, Colombia, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Spain and Italy) and is present in prestigious, public and private collections at the DR, and small collections in the USA.
