KAIFLYN
Visual artist based in Montreal
Cécile Kaiflyn is a Swiss visual artist based in Montreal.
After living in several countries, studying Fine Arts, and working in the urban art scene, including for the MURAL Festival, she now develops a practice that combines painting on canvas and public mural art. She brings her visual language from canvas to walls, making her work accessible to a wider audience.
In her painting, Kaiflyn seeks to give form to emotions. She begins with a spontaneous gesture, which she then transforms into a graphic composition. Her process moves from emotion to reflection, and from instinctive gesture to a carefully constructed work. Painting allows her to step back from an emotion, transform it, and give it form.
Through her work, she explores inner states that can sometimes be difficult to express, while creating space for each viewer to find their own interpretation.
