Artist Pakayla Biehn
San Francisco, 1986
Pakayla Biehn was born with strabismus - a disorder in which her eyes failed to align correctly, causing double vision. Corrective glasses and three eye surgeries later, Pakayla has drawn inspiration from her childhood experience to create beautiful paintings that play on the duality she encountered every day. A big supporter of the marriage between technology and the arts, Pakayla relies on photoshop to merge two images (often those of fellow artists Tamara Lichtenstein and Jeff Enlo) resulting in a double exposure photograph. She then projects this image onto a blank canvas and using oil and acrylic, produces stunning pieces of work that explore
“the passage of time and thought, the eternal and durable, sustainability versus impermanence…things that are usually, but don’t necessarily have to be, mutually exclusive.”
