Some people think I’m competing with them but I’m not and here’s the thing: even the person I’m competing with, or supposedly cause it’s creative competition, it’s actually not negative, it’s positive. It makes the other person fight hard, real hard, because they want that. We’re in New York so let’s face it, competition is everywhere, but what I get out of it is a genuine understanding of ‘I’m going to bring other people up too.’ It’s not a matter of this person is competing with me, it’s a matter that this person is in the same ring as me and we’re all in this arena. It’s the eye of the storm and where the chaos is which is what the red star represents. We’re in the eye of the storm, but we’re so centered, we see the chaos and sometimes we react to it, but the heart of the chaos is not in our hearts. I’ll take that and bring it out in positive energy. L3: After your trip to Egypt, what art pieces came? NK: Ouuu! I got chills when you asked that! Icon angels were created. I felt there were anges around us and things that we could not fully explain. There are things in Egypt that you can’t explain. Egypt is its own beautiful world and you find out things about Nefertiti and Hetsetsu and in that period of time, And a woman who had to disguise herself as a man, and rule the country better than any man could … that’s fire! That’s how we have to be in this world, so big that everything that’s supposed to not be you, becomes your motivation. You have to say ‘ok I’m not suppose to do this, but I’m going to figure this out.’ L3: You’ve done your pilgrimage and it comes out in your artwork. People are beginning to wake up and get on to your vibrational level and essence. Tell us about your first exhibit! NK: My first exhibit, when I decided to take my art career seriously, was in 2007 and it was called ‘Words can change a life, but a picture is worth a thousand words.’ It was held at the prestigious National Arts Club, and the gentleman who discovered me was Olden James, and he was one of the Fathers of the people who created the 80’s art movement, which was Andy Warhol, etc, and I was his last discovery. The things he taught me in that room when we first met I still hold with me. My first art show ever was very prestigious. Mother Theresa said she only found God once in her whole period of time. She said her whole life was dedicated to that one moment, and I get a lot from the moment that I had. I want to bring that moment to the Ashram, or the Market, or the City or the studio and spread Love.
