Kimwilsonartist is a virtual space and official contemporary art portfolio based in Buenos Aires. It brings together large-format abstract paintings, murals for interiors and facades, mixed-media works, and limited-edition reproductions. The work is organized around a simple idea: that the piece should enter into dialogue with the place where it will live.
The paintings are built up in layers on raw canvas, with glazes and visible gestures that change according to the light in the room. There is no fixed recipe: there is a process that adapts to each support and each space. The mixed-media works incorporate torn paper, fillers, and pigment to add relief and a tactile reading, designed to be viewed up close.
The murals are designed based on the actual dimensions, viewing heights, and the light that enters through the openings of the space. Before painting, the movement patterns of those who inhabit the space are studied, because the work is discovered in parts. Limited-edition reproductions are printed in short, numbered runs, with paper selection and color fidelity, for those who want a piece from the studio in a smaller format.
Why the studio works this way
Before defining a palette or a format, the dimensions of the wall, the viewing height, and the orientation of the openings are reviewed. An abstract painting that works in a room with afternoon light does not read the same in a hallway without windows, and we prefer to say so before starting.
The layers on raw canvas, the glazes, and the gestures are not hidden: they are part of the language of the piece. In mixed technique, torn paper and fillers that add relief are added, so the work is appreciated differently up close and from afar. It is a detail that often defines the purchase.
The reproductions are printed in short, numbered runs, with paper selection and color control. They serve those who want a piece from the studio in a smaller format or to rotate the art at home according to the season, without losing the character of the original work.
A mural is not an enlarged painting. The routes, heights, and architecture are studied so that the work is discovered in parts and does not compete with the wall. That is why the starting point is always a consultation with measurements and references from the space.
When a decoration or lifestyle brand works with the studio, palettes and compositions are adapted to textiles, papers, or surfaces without turning it into a generic print. The work must remain recognizable and, at the same time, work on the final object.
Kimwilsonartist was born as a virtual space and official portfolio of contemporary art based in Buenos Aires, designed to show the work as it is produced: in layers, with decisions that are visible and others that remain underneath. There is no founding story with dates or a timeline to exhibit, because the project is told from what it does now: large-format abstract paintings, murals for interiors and facades, mixed-media works, and limited-edition reproductions.
The way of working rests on a few ideas that repeat in every piece. On raw canvas, glazes are layered until the color gains depth, and the gesture remains visible as part of the result. That makes the same work read differently depending on the light of the room where it hangs, something that is lost in a photo and becomes evident on the wall.
Murals follow another logic. Before painting, the real measurements are taken, the viewing heights and the light coming through the openings are studied, and thought is given to how the work will be discovered as one walks through the space. It is not an enlarged painting: it is a design that adapts to the wall and to those who inhabit it every day.
In mixed technique, torn paper, fillers, and pigment come into play. The surface stops being flat and relief appears, with rough areas alongside others that are almost translucent. These are pieces to be enjoyed up close, when the eye finds the seams of the process.
Limited edition reproductions are printed in small runs, with paper selection and careful attention to color fidelity. They work as a way to collect without the original format and to rotate art at home as the mood of the space changes.
The studio also works with decor and lifestyle brands, translating palettes and compositions into textiles, papers, and surfaces. At the same time, news is published about in-person exhibitions and creative workshops for those who want to get closer to the process.

There are no dates or closed stages to organize here, because the studio does not publish a calendar of milestones. What can be read is the journey of a piece: how it begins, what decisions are made along the way, and when it is worth seeing. That is the thread this section follows.
Everything starts with raw canvas and an idea of color, not with a finished sketch. The first layers are broad and loose; there is still no form there, only atmosphere. This is the part of the process where it is best not to rush, because the glazes that come later need a base that breathes.
Color is built through layering. Some areas remain dense with pigment and others are left almost translucent, and that contrast is what makes the work change according to the ambient light. The gesture is left visible on purpose: it is part of how the piece is read, not a mistake that needs to be corrected.
Here the order changes. First, the real measurements of the wall are taken, the viewing heights are considered, and the path of the light is studied. Then the routes of those who inhabit the place are considered, because a mural is discovered in parts and not all at once. Only then is the composition defined.
In mixed-media works, torn paper, loads, and pigment are combined to move beyond the flat surface. The piece gains relief and a tactile reading that is best appreciated up close. It is slower work, because each material responds differently to moisture and drying.
Limited-edition reproductions are printed in short, numbered runs, with paper selection and careful color fidelity. In parallel, collaborations with decor and lifestyle brands translate palettes and compositions into textiles, papers, and surfaces, taking care that the work remains recognizable.
