 Artist Kiki Kaye
KiKi Kaye is German, was born in Shanghai/China, was raised in Düsseldorf/Germany and has since lived Monte Carlo/ Monaco, Scottsdale/Arizona and Mexico. As a young adult she spent many years traveling the world as one of Germany’s leading fashion models. KiKi’s international lifestyle was quickly integrated with her passion for art; along the way she was able to study with such internationally renowned artists Jim Strong and Lu Bellamak in America, Theresa Pisani Winckelman in England, Ernest Bruzek in Austria, and Efren Conzales in Mexico.
During her globe hopping years she also completed a 2 year program with honors at the Art Instruction School in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Prior to settling in Ajijic, Mexico, where she now resides and works, she spent 20 years living, modeling, studying art and exhibiting in Monte Carlo, Monaco. KiKi’s life experiences have introduced her to many different cultural environments; these experiences serve as a basis for her reflective and sensitive character which pervades her work.
Her work has been shown in numerous publications including International Contemporary Masters of 2009 and the Artist Advocate where she was selected for the cover of the winter edition 2009. KiKi has exhibited internationally in such galleries as Galerie Rocher in France, Galerie d’Art Monte Carlo in Monaco, L’exposition International de Genes in Switzerland (where she was awarded the blue ribbon), and Galerie Fernando Pessoa in Florida. She has also exhibited extensively in Mexico including solo exhibitions at Quadro gallery in Puerto Vallarta, Gallery Casa Rombo in Guadalajara and the Cultural Center of Ajijic in Ajijic.
Most recently KiKi co-founded the Animal Dog Center Gallery which operates as foundation and a gallery. %20 of all the proceeds from art sales go to support the animal shelter in Chapala, Mexico; her work is regularly on display. Her work will also be exhibited in the upcoming Arrival and Departure Exhibition at Kennedy, New York Airport.
