Steve Kirklys

Steve is an artist based in Palm Springs, California, whose unique style merges the worlds of fine art and graphic design. Drawing from his extensive experience as a graphic artist and creative director in Los Angeles, Steve brings a designer’s precision and sensibility to his vivid depictions of the landscape and architecture of Southern California.

Steve’s career as an creative director for leading brands and ad agencies has profoundly shaped his artistic approach. His paintings are known for their geometric compositions, and a deliberate use of color and contrast. While his subjects are rooted in the natural world and architectural landscapes, his treatment of them is anything but traditional. Steve's work evokes both a sense of place and a modern sensibility, creating a distinct visual language.
