Bio
Kanrec Sakul lives and works in Košice, Slovakia. Even he did not study art school, he has been painting since his childhood. "As a child, I knew that I would always paint. For me it was always an endless game that entertained me more than LEGO building set or any other toy". Since 2014, he has been depicting "Flowers That Don't Exist in Botany" in his works. Objects, paintings, drawings and installations have the character of fantasy flowers, lands or caves with unclear amorphous borders. Wild colors, changeable textures, material diversity and artificial light are typical features of his work. In Kanrec Sakul’s sometimes twisted, but also dark fantasies imprinted on his canvases, you can easily find also a subversive humor, but a desire for a better world as well.
