b.1987 in Edmonton Alberta , currently lives in Vancouver Canada. Has worked in Montréal Canada, Edinburgh Scotland, and Sapporo Japan.
Kazimir has participated in numerous gallery shows, live performances, and juried exhibitions. Selling artwork internationally.
Kazimir's work focuses on stark portraits that use color, texture and abstract elements to convey emotion. Through portraiture he explores his idea of "The Human Mind Abstracted".
That being, a social mind, unable to communicated exactly what it is to "be" to another mind. Instead we must abstract our thoughts with references to experiences within the world around us. Art being the closest we can get to truly letting others know of our being and what it is to exist. His art incorporats ideas of philosophy, psychology, and recently artificial intelligence.
Stepping into the field of machine-learning(ML) art with the use of Generative Adversarial Networks(GANs). All ML artworks being created with custom datasets, tens of thousands of images and the manipulations of multiple GAN networks and digital photo manipulation techniques. When not creating art, Kazimir does management consulting for visual effects studios in Film, TV, and video game.
