Her work displays a technique of using layered short brush strokes to add a sense of movement to her work. Kalin’s work mainly focuses on portraiture, she also creates abstract pieces that combine the themes of fluidity and flux of space. Kalin curated her first solo exhibition in 2019: (Perpetual).
