Khilali is a self taught multifaceted artist from the South Bronx. She takes great inspiration from Mexican painter Frida Khalo. Known for her bold colors and creation of her own style, Khalo challenged societal norms and pushed boundaries with her art. Khilali’s approach to art is to bring a voice to unarticulated or misunderstood topics of conversation, her main focus being mental health. Using her knowledge of psychology and passion for art she strives to create pieces which speak to emotions individually, while also opening up the conversation for others to relate. Normalizing mental health by spreading awareness and bringing acceptance is the ultimate goal. When she’s not pushing boundaries with her art, she’s having fun connecting with her customers through commissions, custom work, and murals.
