Karine is a self-taught bronze sculptor, born in Lebanon in 1970, with both Mexican and Lebanese roots.
Growing up in Beirut during the civil war, she was deeply influenced by the turbulence of her environment.
Her artistic journey continued through twelve years of study in Paris, which further broadened her artistic perspective.
Karine's work reflects the connection between inner feelings and the external chaos, through powerful and expressive shapes.
She begins her process by modeling clay figures, creating rough, textured surfaces with substantial volumes that evoke a sense of stability and belonging. Her sculptures have full curves and flowing shapes. The colorful patinas add warmth and life to the bronze.
By focusing on texture, form, and color, she invites contemplation, offering the viewer an emotional experience that speaks to both the tactile and visual senses.
Karine's work has been showcased in cities worldwide, including Beirut, New York, Florence, London, Cairo, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Marbella and Munich. Additionally, she has exhibited her artworks at both the historic Salon d'Automne and the prestigious Grand Palais in Paris.
She was awarded the "Special Commendation From the President" medal at the XIVth Florence Biennale.
