A dark canvas, made with acrylic paint alone. The tones run from anthracite to black, and among them patches of rust and orange open up, with glints that recall bronze. The surface has a relief that raking light brings out.

It may suggest old metal, earth after fire or embers that have almost gone out. It is a work with a strong presence, one that changes with the light. Karla says she doesn’t start with a set idea and lets the colours, shapes and textures lead her; here, the result is a dark canvas with a glow inside it.

About Karla

Painting came into my life several years ago. I taught myself, with a little guidance from a painter friend, and gradually discovered the joy of creating through experimenting.

I create freely. Everyone is free to find their own story in what I paint.

Karla

Abstract art is my favourite way of expressing myself. I don’t start with a set idea. I let the colours, shapes and textures lead me. When I paint, I switch off completely from the world around me.
