Steve Kirklys

Digital and acrylic and mixed media on screen and canvas and wood

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 art director in Los Angeles, Steve brings a designer’s precision and sensibility to his vivid depictions of the landscape and architecture of Southern California.

A former resident of Los Angeles, Steve’s career as an art director for leading brands and creative agencies has profoundly shaped his artistic approach. His paintings are known for their geometric compositions, and a deliberate use of color and contrast—hallmarks of a designer’s eye. While his subjects are rooted in the natural and architectural landscapes of Palm Springs and Los Angeles, 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.
