Annabel Kika

Annabel Kika is a mixed media painter based in Manchester, whose practice delves into the dynamic interplay of light, colour, and surface. Her work is characterised by hazy, atmospheric compositions that evoke energy and movement while capturing the subtleties of everyday experience and the natural world. Annabel employs a meticulous process - incorporating techniques such as glazing, pouring, and gestural mark-making with ink and oil - to develop a unique visual language that speaks to both the tangible and the ethereal. Currently expanding her exploration by integrating textile elements, she continually seeks to balance materiality with a process-driven approach, further establishing her voice as a contemporary female artist.
