Artist Len Klikunas paints to modify experienced reality through visual perception. His art is a mix of art and architecture, hovering between painting and sculpture. It employs shizen (ZiRan): the Japanese concept of naturalness, absence of pretense, or artificiality. Material is stretched over a supporting three-dimensional framework, like a tent, and coated with paint.

Klikunas' abstract expressionism provides a thoughtful contrast to both traditional and modern interiors, enriching a room with an understated yet impactful presence. Through the nuanced layering of forms, Klikunas' art serves as both a focal point and a harmonious extension of the surrounding decor, infusing spaces with quiet sophistication. His original compositions effortlessly unify design elements into a cohesive, elevated aesthetic.

Klikunas focuses on the larger idea behind his original abstract minimalist artworks. The work is characterized by "mindful artlessness" and simplicity. Understated and subtle, the work doesn't only refer to itself, and it doesn't explain everything. The natural-like radiation that comes from the structure of the materials and color schemes expresses calmness. The meditative process of the work is achieved through the transformation and subtle layering of geometric shapes.
