Karina, who goes by the pseudonym Karina Alexandra, is a multidisciplinary artist based in Barcelona. While her roots are in Ukraine, her family soon moved to Canada, where she was raised in the city of Toronto. Since then, she has lived in Thailand, Mexico, and Spain. Residing in one place has become a challenge, and this is reflected throughout her work, both in medium and in theme.

Karina’s creativity has flourished since early childhood, thanks in large part to her mother, who not only recognized her talents but also encouraged her to attend various art schools and programs. While she has explored fashion, photography, and jewelry, her main focus lies in the visual arts, particularly works on canvas and paper.

Drifting between themes, Karina is often inspired by the complexities of human emotion, internal contradiction, and the pleasures experienced through travel.
"I am not a machine," the artist says. "I am simply a messenger. I can find deep beauty in grief, and then all the sadness in the world just by looking at the way light reflects through a window. My work is intuitive and entirely personal. I don't believe in a niche, though I do think I have a style. I'm unable to put myself in a box like that…I truly create when the overwhelming feeling strikes."

As Karina continues to create from a place of honesty and intuition, she invites viewers to not just see her work, but to feel it, to find their own meaning within it. For her, art is not a product but a process, a way of translating what cannot be said into something that can be shared. In a world that often demands definition, her work offers space; for contradiction, for emotion, and for quiet reflection.
