I started painting in 2020 during the first lockdown. After a few feeble attempts at baking banana bread, my roommates and I decided to invest in a painting kit from Amazon instead, et voilà, ‘Artist Mode’ was activated.
Women and weather are my inspiration. All my paintings revolve around women in some way, and the climate where I paint them will inevitably depict the mood.
St Barth was the birthplace of my “Deconstructed Bodies” series which features animated bodies, fruits (particularly eggplants) and bold colours.
These themes came to life after more lunches than I’d care to admit at Eden Rock, where I’d settle in by the sea for people watching accompanied by my sketchpad, margaritas and an acai bowl.
Karolina is a Swedish-American artist painting in St. Barths and New York. She’s exhibited at Saatchi Gallery during Focus Art Fair London, Spectrum Art Fair during Miami Art Week, Maison Pelican in St. Barths and shows work at her Manhattan studio.
Karolina draws inspiration from the human form, food, and minimalist patterns, exploring elements of proportion to create aesthetically pleasing designs. Her work combines subtle yet vibrant colors, adding a modest tone to her otherwise playful imagery.
