Cartographer of Darkness - Painting by Kelly Lewis
Cartographer of Darkness
To map the void is to reveal yourself.
Bold and sprawling, this piece feels like a galaxy unfolding or a map of unknown terrain.
Light isn’t just decoration here — it’s direction.
This work honors ancient skywatchers who gave shape to darkness by naming stars.
An exploration of how we turn chaos into story.

A Piece from the “Fragments of a Galaxy” Collection
An exhibition by Kelly Lewis / K.A. Lewis
What if the universe isn’t out there, but inside you?
In Fragments of a Galaxy, Kelly Lewis (K.A. Lewis) explores the vastness of space through a deeply personal lens. Using fluid painting techniques, she translates emotion, memory, and intuition into works that feel born from stardust — not studied, but remembered.
Each piece in this exhibition is its own celestial body:
Swirls of colour suggest collapsing stars, blooming galaxies, and radiant echoes.
Textured blacks and whites reflect the mystery of constellations and the stories they conceal.
Violet-hued paintings capture the weight of unspoken thoughts — the kind that arrive before understanding.
A single miniature galaxy sits in stillness, inviting contemplation in a sea of motion.
These are not depictions of space — they are impressions of its presence.
Felt, not measured. Dreamed, not charted.
Fragments of a Galaxy invites you to pause… and consider that maybe, the cosmos is thinking back.
