Ochres and caramel tones spread across the canvas in broad washes of acrylic paint and spray, with drips that let the gesture show. In the centre, a thick white shape stands out from the background; it may recall an island seen from above, an old map or a patch of salt on the sand.

Small points of gold leaf light up as the light changes, and a touch of light blue near the base gives the warm tones a rest. It is a good example of the way Karla works: with no set idea at the outset, going back to the canvas until she feels the work is finished. What the white shape is remains up to the viewer.

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.
