Meet the Artist

Hi! I am Kira Köntges.

I was born 2006 and am based in Flensburg, Germany.

​

Since 2024 I work in my art studio in downtown as a freelance artist.

How did I end up here?

I discovered my path to the visual arts by growing up in a creative, artistic household. Paintbrushes, canvases, and colorful paint-stained hands have been part of my life since early childhood. This background laid the foundation for my current work as a freelance artist.

While I have worked with media such as gouache, watercolor and pens, my preferred medium has been acrylic paint on canvas from very beginning.

Unlike little me there, I now love to combine traditional paint with acrylic markers and inks.

My Painting Style

My painting style is primarily a blend of abstract and figurative elements and I enjoy experimenting with how these forms of expression interact.

​

My pieces strike an emotional balance between reality and fantasy; at the center are often mystical depictions of animals or nature, set within dreamy, almost fairy-tale-like scenes.

Inspired by nature – such as the idyllic view from my window at home – and by reading many imaginative books, I capture special moments and transform them into vivid, mysterious visual worlds.

The Craft

As a self-taught artist, I view art and the artist’s profession as a process of constant development.

​

Especially in the digital age, I see analog painting as a deeply, inherently human craft that tells stories and evokes emotions.

Creating in Flensburg

​Since graduating school with Abitur (equivalent to A levels/ General Higher Education Entrance Qualification) in 2024, I have been working in my own studio in downtown, where my original artworks are created before making their way to art lovers and finding new homes.

​

Visit my studio at Angelburger Str 25, 24937 Flensburg, Germany. I would love to meet you :)
