The analytical rigor and problem-solving mindset ingrained in his background, particularly through structural engineering, laid the foundation for his artistic exploration. His keen understanding of how structures are built, how lines intersect and how materials interact with light and space has influenced his vision and deeply heartfelt passion for masters of fine art.
Today, Kyle seamlessly merges business acumen with artistic intuition. His evolving work champions a vision for a new generation of master artists those who, like him, draw from unexpected disciplines to create profound and timeless expressions of form, structure, and emotion.
