NKSIN

JapaneseJapanese
, b. 1994

NKSIN, a self-taught artist, employs airbrush techniques to bring his paintings to life. With roots spanning the Philippines and Japan, his formative years were spent in a confined environment that bred frustration. Drawing inspiration from personal encounters, NKSIN offers a distinctive take on contemporary social issues, particularly those pertaining to human relationships. His artistic endeavors, approached with irony and a touch of humor, serve as a means to reflect upon his experiences and thoughts. NKSIN's spray-painting style showcases a distinctiveness strongly influenced by the animated designs prevalent in 1990s American culture. The children depicted in his works serve as vehicles for self-examination, reflecting upon their own naivety when confronted with newfound knowledge and exploring their own identities. Through his art, NKSIN questions the ignorance that accompanies encountering unfamiliar information for the first time, both in the world and within oneself.
