Christie Kaplan's artistic creations are decades old, never before publicized.
It all started in June of 2025, she awakened from a literal dream and a new inspiration struck. What emerged was not merely a return to artistry, but a purposeful channeling of one of life's most complex experiences into tangible form.
Her work represents a deep and meaningful artistic expression of the modern entrepreneur's soul; capturing the raw essence of struggle, the weight of learning, and the proud moments of celebration that define the path of those who dare to build and create.
About the Artist
Beyond the Canvas
Her philosophy centers on a powerful truth: the canvas we are given to create upon does not define how we evolve or dream.
This belief infuses every piece of her work with a sense of deep awareness, where personal transformation transcends physical and mental boundaries.
For Christie, art became a sanctuary on her own entrepreneurial venture. A space to meditate and reflect.
She also saw an opportunity to push the traditional constraints what ‘modern art is’ because mainstream art has flat-lined into sameness.
Additionally, the ever-evolving AI tech world is pushing humans to retreat towards the human experience; where society is seeking refuge to feel and experience something real again.
Inspiration & Intent
The Internal Vision
Christie's work personally invites viewers to look within their own journey through the layers of canvas, grand displays and sensitive, intimate story-telling.
Christie's artistic practice emerged from a need to translate the intangible experiences of growth into a visual language that holds physical weight. Each work serves as both personal catharsis and universal mirror, reflecting the shared journey of those who navigate the uncertain waters of creating and building the new.
Her pieces serve as visual meditations on growth, resilience, perseverance, failure and the profound beauty found in the entrepreneur's path. A path marked not by beginnings or ends, but by the mindset along the way.
Her art collection speaks to the modern entrepreneur's paradox; the simultaneous vulnerability and strength required to build something meaningful in an ever-changing world.
