Karina Plachetka, painter

Karina Plachetka ist eine erfahrene Malerin und Zeichnerin, die ihre Arbeiten bereits international ausgestellt hat. Der Bezug zum Mensch ist in ihrem Portfolio nicht zu übersehen. Demgegenüber in den Jahren 2010 bis heute widmet sie ihre Aufmerksamkeit der Natur in allen ihren Fassetten, seien es Tierdarstellungen oder Landschaften. Dort findet sie das unverfälschte Zusammensein der Elemente, eine stille und geduldige Toleranz, die nonverbale Kommunikation, die universellen Wahrheiten. Ihr neuester Projekt, den sie im Sommer 2021 startete, widmet sie den Landschaften von 'Garmisch-Partenkirchen' und den Tierdarstellungen.

 

Zu Zeit arbeitet sie an Entwicklung Ihrer Projekte.
