Kiero Petross

Prounouns: He/Him

June-August 2024

Keiro Petross (b. 2000) is a Tulsa-based artist.  He is primarily self-taught and has always been driven by creativity.  In 2020, he began to focus intensively on his fundamentals, dedicating much of his time to practicing anatomy, form, and figure through charcoal and graphite drawing. This commitment led him to study art at Tulsa Community College, where he expanded his skills by incorporating acrylic paint into his work. 

Kiero’s work typically explores themes of the human figure, everyday experiences, and food.  Since 2021, showcasing his evolving talent, he has participated in six group exhibitions. They include Aslut Pride (2021), Don’t Tell Dad (2022), Come Party With The Homies (2023), TCC Student Art Show (2023/24), and Gallerium NUDUS (2024).
