Karen Lara Martin

Hello, my name is Karen. My artistic journey began in my childhood. Born in Guatemala, a small country in Central America adorned with beautiful green mountains and a bright blue sky most of the year... It was impossible not to be fascinated by the beauty of nature and its complexity.

Over the years, thanks to constant practice and the support of my parents, I acquired the skill to draw in a more or less realistic manner. However, it wasn't until my arrival in France that I discovered painting and all its nuances. It was like a revelation for me, to the point that this passion became my profession.

During these past years, I have dedicated my time to mastering various painting techniques, primarily using watercolors, acrylics, gouache, and oil paints. In doing so, I have explored an infinite variety of possibilities that each technique can offer (although there is still much for me to discover!).

Painting, for me, is a language that allows me to convey my vision of the world. It is a universal language that has the power to make emotions visible and tangible. I hope you find a piece of artwork that transports you to an ocean of purely positive emotions.

Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to seeing you again.
