Our Story

Main Kernel began in 2015 with a simple vision: to create a platform where art enthusiasts, creators, and curious minds could explore the fascinating world of artistic expression.

What started as a small blog has grown into a vibrant community of art lovers from around the world. We believe that art has the power to inspire, challenge, and transform. Through our articles, interviews, and resources, we aim to make art more accessible and appreciated by everyone.

Our team consists of artists, art historians, writers, and creative professionals who share a deep passion for the creative process and the stories behind great artworks. Together, we curate content that celebrates both established masters and emerging talents across various art forms and movements.
