Introduction
Reyhan Alimova Kiyan
Reyhan Alimova Kiyan is a Canadian artist working across oil pastel, drawing and watercolour. Her practice centres on the human figure, portraiture and the relationship between outward appearance and interior life.
Artistic Practice
Her figurative works explore psychological presence through colour, anatomy and gesture. Studies after historical masters form part of her investigation of composition, light and pictorial structure.
Background
She holds an LLM from McGill University and a GPLLM from the University of Toronto. Her McGill thesis (2016) was supervised by Professor Frédéric Mégret.
