Gold and Grit – Abstract Oil on Canvas, Exploring Creativity and Resilience
Gold and Grit (30×40 in) captures the duality of the creative spirit — its luminous joy and its relentless persistence. Thick oil textures and layered strokes create a tactile surface where golden tones meet bold black forms, softened by muted greens, whites, and lilac accents. The work symbolizes the tension between chaos and structure, portraying inspiration as both untamed energy and disciplined resilience.
The abstract composition evokes balance — delicate yet powerful — making it an impactful addition to modern interiors. Its subtle elegance and raw strength resonate with anyone who has ever pursued a creative path, transforming struggle into beauty.

Presentation
Kerry Ost has always been guided by her passion for art, a dream she has pursued since childhood. After initially studying architecture, she shifted her focus to fine arts, earning a bachelor's degree in 2014. Though she spent several years as a 2D artist in the gaming industry, Kerry felt a strong desire to return to painting, where she could express her emotions and ideas more freely.
In 2023, she moved to the USA, leaving behind her game design career to focus entirely on her art. Kerry completed the "Drawing Year" at Grand Central Atelier and continues to explore new artistic techniques in the "Painting Year" program. She is known for her experimental approach, using tools like syringes to create unique textures on her canvases, drawing inspiration from contemporary artists like Murat Pulat and Ai Weiwei.
Kerry’s art is not just a means of expression; it’s a way for her to give back. She donates a portion of her earnings to families in need, using her creativity to make a difference.
Key Career Achievements:
Earned a bachelor's degree in fine arts in 2014.
Transitioned from game design to full-time painting in 2023.
Completed the "Drawing Year" program at Grand Central Atelier.
Exhibited in her first U.S. show in 2022.
Joined the Maryland Federation of Art in 2023.
