Karina Kelly is a painter from Quebec, living and working on Île d'Orléans. She has been painting for over 20 years and specializes in creating floral bouquets imbued with joy and vitality. After exploring careers in hairdressing and office administration, she devoted herself entirely to art, where she discovered her unique style, characterized by semi-figurative floral still-life compositions. Since 2018, her works have seen great success within the art world.
Karina Kelly's gestures carry a vibrant energy where each stroke of the spatula becomes a means of expressing an abundance of emotions. Her technique, marked by frank, dynamic movements, is not dictated by speed, but by a profound desire to release and share the intensity of her emotions. Vivid colors and textures create fascinating compositions that offer a sense of well-being and authenticity.
Self-taught, Karina Kelly also trained with professional painters between 2005 and 2015. Her work has been exhibited at numerous symposia and galleries. She has received various distinctions, including, among others, a prize in abstract art composition in 2018, as well as recognition for her contribution to Quebec's cultural landscape in 2021, awarded by federal MP Ms. Caroline Desbiens. Karina is also a member of BLEU, the Île d'Orléans artists' association.
