My name is Carina, and art, particularly painting, has been a lifelong passion of mine.

Since the age of 18, I embarked on a creative journey that has evolved and deepened over the years. For the last seven years, I have dedicated myself to the world of art, a pursuit that has become more than just a hobby—it has become a way of life.

My artistic journey began with hyper-realism, a style that demands meticulous attention to detail and a keen eye for capturing the nuances of reality. This foundation in hyper-realism has proven to be a valuable asset in shaping my current artistic direction.

In the past two years, I have transitioned into the captivating and joyful realm of abstract realism. This stylistic shift has allowed me to explore the boundless possibilities of abstract while maintaining a strong connection to realism.

I am currently studying at the Milan Art Institute, where I continue to refine my skills, experiment with new techniques, and broaden my artistic horizons. This ongoing educational journey provides me with the tools to continually challenge and expand my artistic boundaries.

I am proud to say that my art has found its way into the hearts and homes of many, not only in my home country of New Zealand but also across the globe. Art, for me, is an ever-evolving form of expression. An opportunity for me to create and share pieces of art that uplift and inspire.

As I continue on this creative journey, I am eager to explore new depths in abstract realism, push the boundaries of my own creativity, and create art that speaks not only to the eye but also to the soul.
