Nala Kun
Nala Kun is a Russian-born American artist living and working in the heart of San Francisco. A self-taught painter whose earliest inspirations came from her grandmother’s hyper-realistic embroidery and loom-woven tapestries, Kun earned a degree in advertising and marketing before spending a decade founding and leading two event-production firms across Russia. At age 28, she followed her lifelong calling to become a full-time artist. Kun creates vivid, kinetic spirals in high-contrast oils. Each painting unites the precision of her Siberian roots with the inventive energy of her adopted home, becoming both a surgical act and a meditative rite.
