Watery blues and greens cover the canvas in a thick layer of modelling paste, which the acrylic paint and spray run through in several tones. On top, small touches of orange and lines of gold relief outliner catch the light and make the surface shift as you move around it — it recalls the bottom of a lagoon with the sun coming in.

Karla doesn’t start with a set idea: she lets the colours, shapes and textures lead her. Here, the material suggests water. It is a small work, in a white frame, that asks to be seen up close, where the relief and the gold reveal themselves. Everyone is free to find their own story in 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.
