Karina Balbuena

"Professional plastic artist and art educator with a 9-year tenure at the Museum of Visual Arts. My career took a decisive professional turn in 2017 when I began my studies in classical and Baroque glazing techniques under Master Ricardo Celma.

My artistic practice is a continuous exploration of the connection between the human soul and the natural world. While my work often delves into the psychological depth of the gaze, my vision extends to the vital relationship between humanity and the environment. Through my series involving wildlife and nature, I seek to foster a deeper consciousness regarding our planet and the spiritual essence that binds all living beings. My technique, rooted in the mastery of oil glazing, serves as a bridge to capture light, life, and the mystic bond between our inner selves and the world we inhabit."
