Porous

Karin breathes life into raw, structured portraits of primarily female models, seamlessly blending them with abstract imagery of grungy surfaces that she expertly manipulates on her computer. The enchanting contrast between the digital and the tangible fuels her passion as she revels in the transformation of virtual art into exquisite physical masterpieces. Once the digital canvas reaches its completion, Karin pours her artistic essence into the work, layering it with paint, gel medium, acrylic, oil, and oil bars. Armed with various tools—sponges, brushes, palettes, and her fingers—she redefines the printed image into a captivating reflection of her creative vision. To elevate her masterpiece, she finishes with a coat of satin varnish, imbuing it with a touch of sophistication and elegance.
