Karolina Árpa

Karolina Arpa was born in Ukraine and currently resides in Budapest. Between 2018 and 2022, she pursued her studies in painting in Venice with Katia Margolis.

Her artistic style navigates the border between abstract expressionism and surrealism. Karolina experiments with reducing the use of colours, reflecting the perception of living in an era where colours seem to have faded, yet art still embodies aesthetics for her. In her current works, she focuses on the interplay of light and the absence of light, placing duality at the centre.

Through dialogue within her artwork, subtle transitions, and soft tonal contrasts, Karolina strives to create a visual imprint. She aims to achieve a balance between the loss of linearity in the present era and the depths of the human psyche's reaction to it.
