Kim Boulukos is a contemporary visual artist inspired by Nature

Born in New York, Kim Boulukos has been living and working in Nice since 1992. She studied lithography at the State University College of New York in Potsdam, New York, then sculpture and art history at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. where she obtained her Bachelor of Arts in Fine Art receiving high honors for her thesis installation of clouds. She went on to earn a Master's degree and Doctorate in biology at Georgetown University. After pursuing a career in science, Kim Boulukos returned to her first love, creating art.

Kim Boulukos’ artwork of stylized horses and antelopes is soothing and peaceful, whereas her work inspired by dogs is joyful and playful. Her depiction of seahorses, inspired from living on the coasts of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, is an urgent cry for their preservation. Kim Boulukos’ recent work focuses on the cycle of life in Nature by artistically portraying nests, seeds, trees or tumbleweed. She constructs her sculptures by assembling smaller elements together through welding, weaving or sculpting and uses a variety of materials including metals, clay, resin, natural fibers, feathers, seeds and other vegetal matter.

Not only is her artwork suitable for cultural spaces, Kim Boulukos’ animals integrate well in interiors of traditional and contemporary homes, restaurants or offices. Because metal is the most durable material for outdoor works, her bronze or steel sculptures easily enhance a courtyard, poolside, waterfront or garden landscape.

In addition to collective exhibitions, Kim Boulukos has had solo or 2-person exhibitions in museums in France, Italy and the Netherlands as well as in galleries, parks, exhibition halls and cultural centers in several countries on the European continent and in her birthplace of Long Island, New York and Palm Beach, Florida. Her work is found in private and public collections in several continents.
