Earthy Tones & Raw Texture – Japandi Abstract Canvas Artwork

Karina Stalpinski is a contemporary artist exploring the delicate balance between structure and fluidity through abstract compositions. Working primarily with handmade paper, mixed media, and collage, Karina experiments with textures, transparency, and layering to create works that evoke both fragility and depth. Inspired by topographic maps, organic patterns, and the passage of time, their process is deeply intuitive—embracing the unpredictable nature of materials such as wet, delicate paper and subtle tonal shifts. Each piece reflects themes of impermanence, transformation, and movement in nature, inviting the viewer to engage with the intricate details and tactile surfaces. Karina’s artistic approach is guided by the philosophy of trusting the process, allowing materials and compositions to evolve organically rather than being strictly controlled. Through a monochromatic and earthy palette, their works capture the ephemeral essence of paper—its ability to hold memory, light, and texture in a way that feels both ancient and contemporary. Their work has been featured in online galleries and international art platforms, with collectors drawn to the meditative quality and raw materiality of each piece. Whether working on canvas or paper, Karina continues to push the boundaries of abstraction, creating art that exists at the intersection of structure and spontaneity.
