Kiya Kim is a Interdisciplinary artist, raised in South Korea and based in New York City since 2008. Her work evolves through a dialogue between inner muses and outer phenomena. The urban setting predominating throughout her life path opened her eyes to myriad material fabrications. Her multi-faceted works take the form of: rhythmic site-specific installation, ethereal video, juxtaposed assemblage, whimsical jewelry, interactive performance, and, festive fashion-based sculpture.

Kim grew up surrounded by literature due to her father and mother’s artistic perspectives. Her parents provided unstinting support nurtured Kim's fearless sensitivity and continual efforts to expand her offbeat vision.
