‘I’ve always been very inspired by Beci. She’s such a talented artist. I love what she stands for, and who she is as a human being’. – Kristina Karlsson.

As the new year rolls around at an alarming pace, kikki.K has recently conducted a survey to explore a little more of the psychology and priorities about the goals we set for ourselves. Three key trends emerged from their research for New Year’s resolution priorities – Health and Wellbeing, Family and Relationships, and Career. And now they’re bringing them to life, with the help of one of Melbourne’s most-loved artists!

kikki.K has teamed up with legendary Melbourne-based artist Beci Orpin to create three original artworks inspired by these New Year’s resolution themes, and are offering the chance to WIN one, as well as a host of other amazing prizes! Three major prize winners will each receive an original A2 Beci Orpin x kikki.K Resolution Canvas, and accompanying kikki.K Christmas gift prize pack tailored to each category, and 150 other winning competition entrants will win 1 of 50 Beci Orpin limited edition Resolution Prints. These artworks are exclusive to this competition, and can’t be purchased anywhere else!

The Resolution Canvases are imbued with Beci’s signature sense of joy, and act as a subtle (welcome!) reminder of the things that are most important to us. ‘I loved that kikki.K wanted me to do original artwork for this project – something I don’t always get to do for commercial clients – and the fact that they are giving them away to inspire people’, Beci says of the collaboration. Go on – dream BIG!
