Known for his woodblock printing and monotype techniques, Klos creates unique collage materials to build fragmented yet dimensional portraits. Reflecting on his own family’s history, Klos reimagines acts of resistance against exploitative labor systems, portraying figures in restful poses and the resilient beauty of wildflowers—symbols of strength and renewal.
Discover how his work sheds light on personal and collective histories, offering powerful visual meditations on identity and resilience.
