CRITIQUE D’ART

By Andy Walcott

Subject: Art Show at Pura Vida

Your art, to me, seems turbulent, exuberant and very honest. I sensed no confusion in your emotions among the conflict. Your art communicates directly through colors that resonate in harmony and discord. Your models appeared to me to be catalysts that relased your interior voice. I felt very much like I was standing deep inside you looking out through the length of your emotional vortex with your models just visible at the opening. Your brush strokes are sometimes raw and urgent, and other times quiet and caressing. They are never tenative and are quite confident. I was immediately drawn into your world full of life force and energy where I felt comfortable and welcome. Your committment to living is quiet strong. I think your creative well runs deep with renewing currents.

"Karina- you have a great sensibility as well as emotional honesty. There is something deeply revealing and you capture it."
