Mary Kalcic received her BFA in painting from the San Francisco Art Institute. Her figurative paintings rendered in oil paint on wood resonate the natural world in a visual conversation with the viewer. The wood as a raw medium acts as a base for the image to reflect a living presence, engaging the senses. The pleasure of interacting with other living beings is the reward of these works enhancing existential awareness.

This painting is from the “Persephone” photoshoot with my beautiful muse, Zoe. The photo series investigates beauty, innocence, and the darkness of sensual experience.

Focusing on the identity of the figure, usually a talented artist, my work explores the body as a vehicle for power and mystery. Subversion of typical viewer and model dynamic is inevitable. This allows the painting to express the true depth of character beyond aesthetic value and leads the viewer to contemplate in reverence.

The person depicted in this painting is my beautiful and talented friend You Been Kim. She is an endless source of inspiration for me as she enjoys helping me actualize my visions and concepts as a model and motivates me in my endeavors with her own prolific artistic achievements. This image is from a photoshoot we took by the bay. Her long dark hair is blown by the wind from the sea and her expression is that of an explorer of dreams and far away worlds.
