Enigmas Art ~Lore~

The "Enigmas Art" shop is founded and owned by Kade Lukiyo. Kade is an Inland Empire based painter and poet originally from the LA area. Although many of his early paintings were landscapes, most of his current works are abstract. He’s heavily influenced by his Black and Puerto Rican identities and the ancestral artwork of his peoples. His poetry is mostly free verse; combining metaphors and imagery with discussions of politics, racial and cultural identity, queer/trans identity, mental health, and human emotion.

Kade initially started writing poetry because he felt like there were certain things he wasn't allowed to say out loud. He started painting, partially because it's beautiful, but also as a way of expressing emotions there aren't quite enough words for. Kade doesn't really do art for the money, but he has far too many art pieces in his house and too many words in his head. It all has to go somewhere, so why not out into the world?

This shop is a way for Kade to release what he has created, and what he'll create in the future. Eventually, if the shop gets big enough, the funds will go towards trans and non binary creatives of color in the Inland Empire. But for now, it's just the shop of a guy who needed to empty some space in his house and his brain. Preferably bowing to our corporate overlords(ex.Amazon) as little as possible. We appreciate each person who follows, purchases, shares, or otherwise supports Enigmas Art in anyway. We literally could not do this without y'all. Thank you! 

*Fun fact- the name "Enigmas Art" came from Kade's very first alias as a young poet. Enigma.
