Kenyem's works display the concept of balance (harmony) in the context of human relations with humans, nature, and God. Kenyem works in a meticulously detailed manner, often with calligraphic fields. Iconic to his paintings are small androgynous figures that appear to be dancing. Trees and especially leaves are a recurrent visual motif, as are large hovering rocks. Everything is carefully shadowed to give the impression of floating. Kenyem is one of the founders of the Militant Arts community of artists.
