Hazel Luka Key

I’m a queer outsider artist documenting my experience with the beautiful and the grotesque, unraveling existential terror, and looking for a moment’s peace.

“What is art really? The outcome of dissatisfaction with life, the point of impact for the creative force, the continual movement of life… in my art I attempt to explain life and its meaning to myself.” Edvard Munch
