About the author

Karolina Feygina is a young artist from Yekaterinburg. She became interested in drawing in her childhood while attending art school. After graduating, she continued with independent experiments and the search for her own style.

The artistic characteristic of Karolina's work lies in the integration of color that goes beyond realism. Expressive portraits of colorful characters are memorable precisely because of their use of color. Another feature of her style is the endless play with form. The artist boldly and freely combines filled and "open" spaces within the canvas. The dynamics of her works are enhanced by active gestures, which the artist loves to incorporate into her portraits.
Portraiture is Karolina's favorite genre. She repeatedly turns to it, drawing inspiration from imperfect but distinctive faces. The artist finds black and white photographs of people with striking appearances and transforms them into heroes with their own stories. Her series of portraits of musicians is also noteworthy. Deliberate deformations, saturated colors, gestures, and musical instruments make the paintings literally resonate. Karolina conveys the emotional state of each subject through light, precise lines.
Karolina Feygina's "voice" is characterized by a unique purity that cannot be mistaken for anyone else's.

Karolina works with various materials and techniques, including painting, graphics, and mixed media. Her ideas take shape in many forms and go through a certain cycle: a portrait painted with oil pastels becomes embroidery on clothing or transforms into a textured painting on a large canvas. Textiles are a great passion for the artist.
