Over the years and through several sold-out solo exhibitions, Karoline has captivated audiences with her urban environments, inviting a dialogue between the observer and the painting. Her inspiration stems from inner thoughts and the subconscious, with light, depth, and contrasts serving as crucial elements in Karoline’s works, which carry a touch of melancholy.
“I seek development in my paintings, and they gradually change over time as the conveyed narrative progresses. The direction the paintings take is challenging for me to predict as the process is so intuitive. Why this often materializes in the form of cityscapes, I do not know. It is the human element that truly captivates me.”
Emotions and experiences that shape us but are suppressed or forgotten. These are the feelings that are difficult to put into words. Painting is a powerful tool to access other parts of the brain than the pragmatic one. Emotions are not always easy to articulate. By using colors and light, I create an alternative world. By approaching ideas and thoughts from a different angle, I aim to delve deeper into the understanding of the unconscious and internal aspects that each of us carries. By describing emotions in ways other than words, I hope to achieve some of this.
