Kika Notten specializes in painting with egg tempera. She finds her inspiration in nature. After spending a month as an Artist in Residence on Vancouver Island in 2024, she began working on paper. In her drawings, she explores our relationship with nature, seeing it not only as a source of inspiration but also as a system in which every form of life matters and contributes to the greater whole. This gradually gives rise to a parallel universe where each organism—sometimes striking and graceful, but often microscopic and seemingly insignificant—deserves its own stage.
