Orchid Presents: Kim Eric Lilot Visit Artist's Website Email the Artist
   

The beauty of life is that we all carry our unique sensitivities. For me it is being mindful that Death walks beside us. The awareness of our mortality directs me to the preciousness of life and it is in this spirit that I work to leave behind 'living' reminders.

Life is filled with contrasts. There is no sunrise without darkness, nor joy without sorrow. It is this opposing cycle of life to which we must all celebrate; for in the end it is death that gives to life.

As an artist these are the realizations that I constantly face which enable me to chanel my energy towards transforming those primal fears into reminders of the beauty and diversity of life surrounding us all.

Kim Eric Lilot.
