2025, 3-Dimensional Oil, 16x12x1.5 in.
Kelly Steller Hrad is a contemporary abstract artist whose work transforms traditional oil painting into a richly layered, dimensional experience. Working primarily with palette knives, she creates sculptural surfaces that shift with changing light and perspective, inviting viewers to slow down and engage more deeply.
As a Reflectionist, her work explores atmosphere, memory, movement, and emotional presence rather than literal representation. Originally from New Mexico, expansive skies, changing landscapes, and years of travel across the American West continue to inform her visual language. Her intuitive process allows each painting to evolve through layered color, texture, and movement until it reveals its own direction.
Kelly's work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is included in private and corporate collections, including commissions for Louis Vuitton and Lamborghini Headquarters in Italy.
