At present she's pursuing: painting, drawing, print and graphic design while being involved in some theatrical productions.
Her work are inspired from images of every day life, such as landscapes, architecture and people. Karina watches objects almost like a thief who want to rob an impression from them and hold it on canvas , freezing that moment. Of her work Karina says:
"I find the most important thing is to capture the atmosphere which prevailed at a given location ... and I think this is a big challenge for the painter to give the full atmosphere of the surrounding nature. For me, it is unbridled nature, unpredictable, sometimes frightening, but also beautiful.
I think that nature is my element; I aspire to act, inspired to create."
