Kai Kepski
Interdisciplinary Digital Artist
My Story
My name is Kai Kepski and my pronouns are they/them. I am an interdisciplinary digital artist with a heightened perception of the world around me. My artistic journey is fueled by curiosity and a natural ability to notice subtle details, whether it's the intricate play of colors in everyday scenes or the emotional resonance of music. This sensitivity isn't just a trait; it's my creative advantage.
My background in traditional oil painting provided a strong foundation before I pivoted to digital art in early 2021. What began as exploration quickly evolved into expertise. Within nine months, I was teaching others. As a generalist, I've cultivated skills across multiple disciplines while developing particular strengths in motion design and illustration.
With my recent Media Arts degree complementing my earlier education, I bring a multidisciplinary perspective to every project. I believe in pushing creative boundaries and challenging conventional thinking. My work reflects this philosophy: vibrant, dynamic, and constantly evolving as I explore the intersection of various digital mediums.
