Paris Kain is an artist-filmmaker born and raised in New York City. As his father was an acclaimed inventor and his mother a master enamelist, the fine arts seemed a natural life path. After spending the night inside the King’s Chamber in the Great Pyramid of Giza, Kain was immediately drawn to ancient history and sacred geometry, an interest that has taken him around the globe, inspiring much of his work. Another inspiration is the Gnostic deity named Abraxas, of mythological origins and in Jungian psychology, represents paradoxical conflict. Abraxas has been assimilated into Kain’s studio art, film, photography, sound design and jewelry design. Additionally, he translates similar arcane teachings and philosophies from various cultures into his artistic vision and relationship to shapes. His work has been featured in The New York Times, TIME magazine, W magazine, New York Magazine, Purple Magazine, American Vogue, Italian Vogue, British Vogue, French Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, The Last Magazine, and Nowness.com.
