Karine Jean

I didn’t come from the art world. I turned to painting the way you turn to something essential — to express what I was living, what words couldn’t hold.

I’m drawn to texture, material, and color. These are my tools to channel raw emotion — unfiltered, free from imposed technique or form.

Influenced by abstraction and artists like Pollock, my work doesn’t aim to depict anything specific, but rather to evoke something. Each piece is like a fragment of the unconscious, speaking directly to the viewer without translation.

Every painting is an attempt to connect — one unconscious to another — through color, movement, and the intensity of presence.

I work exclusively with acrylic on cotton canvas, letting emotion guide the process more than intention.
