Hi!
I AM CARINA...
My work springs from the instant I first watched a big‑cat prowl in a zoo as a child and later stood under an African sunrise as a field guide with lions roaring in the distance.
Those moments taught me that true art is the sensation of everything clicking into place—a harmonious orchestra of color, line, and shadow that mirrors the wild’s spacious, vital pulse.
I translate that inner flow onto canvas, using wildlife as both subject and metaphor, balancing light and darkness, delicacy and strength so the viewer can step into their own quiet center.
When a collector hangs a piece, the painting becomes a living portal: a gentle reminder of the inner peace that fuels vitality, a visual meditation that steadies the mind while honoring the fierce elegance of the animal kingdom.
The result is a space that feels present, luminous, and emotionally resonant—an anchor for daily life’s ever‑shifting rhythm.
