Profile
Karina Alonso's pictorial work "Karang" invites us on a journey through dreamlike universes, where stories and characters come to life through a variety of colors that encompasses both strong tropical contrasts and subtle introspective nuances, even proposing absolute white with the use of suggestive textures and well structured compositions. Its creation, which does not follow the standards of fashion, is the reflection of a constant experimentation that leads to the continuous discovery of new themes and languages with which to show others their inner world.
