Above, turquoise blue and petrol blue with white patches that recall foam; below, a warm, smooth ochre. Separating them, a band of thick material crosses the canvas from side to side: embossed paper covered in acrylic paint, in greys and browns, with gold leaf and silver leaf that shine differently depending on the light.

The spray softens the transitions of colour and the matt varnish seals the surface. The central band suggests a tideline, the place where the sea leaves what it brings — but that is only one reading. Karla doesn’t start with a set idea and likes each person to discover their own meanings in the painting.

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.
