Kurt Wesp Yianatos

My work is inspired by the rich cultural and visual diversity I’ve experienced throughout my life, blending traditional techniques like oil painting with contemporary approaches and image recycling. I am a advertiser, painter, and conceptual artist, deeply engaged with drawing theory and the boundaries of visual art.

I currently manage KWY Gallery, a cooperative art initiative that promotes collaborative and non-hierarchical models within the art market. In parallel, I am advancing my artistic and academic practice as a PhD candidate in Fine Arts at the Complutense University of Madrid.

My goal is for my artworks to not only adorn spaces but also create environments filled with joy and awareness, connecting deeply with those who experience them. From my earliest paintings to my latest projects, I aim to make art both accessible and meaningful for everyone.
