Kyne Bernstorff

Through imagination and realism, the characters form, their features, feelings and spirits are transformed - it is the creation and capturing of something slightly awry, either hidden or overwhelming, beautiful or forlorn, but which is significant to me, that stirs and inspires me.
Kyne Bernstorff is a contemporary figurative artist with specific interest in oil portraits of traditional African cultures and tribes.
She wishes to portray a different, often unnoticed and even silenced persona, hoping to give voice and colour to the faces and characters of the obscure African tribes and societies that the world often overlooks, taking particular interest in the quiet power within the strength of its women.
Kyne's love of Africa, its vibrant people and the deep, contrasting colours of the African bush are what inspire her art.
