A small canvas, full of movement. Oranges and reds in thick brushstrokes swirl over the modelling paste like waves or flames; in one corner, a stroke of petrol blue, and higher up a small touch of green. The gold leaf appears between the brushstrokes and lights up when the light catches it; the matt varnish protects the surface.

It suggests fire, or water seen at sunset — each person will see something of their own, as Karla likes. It is part of a set of three canvases of the same size, designed to be together, but it lives well on its own on a small wall or on a shelf.

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.
