Karina Lara

Karina Lara is a Bolivian plastic artist specialized in pastel painting. She received a degree in Fine Arts from the University Major of Saint Andrew in La Paz.  

He reveres the Flemish still life painting of the 16th and 17th centuries, a genre that in her words: “served artists of the time to demonstrate their discipline and worth as painters". Hence, she favors still life as her main genre, even though she has received multiple recognitions in other genres.  

For her still life compositions, she uses local domestic elements, typical of Bolivian culture, like traditional Bolivian terracotta pottery pieces and textiles; exposing with great skill the detail of the varied textures that these objects offer.  

Karina Lara hopes that her works, beyond adding warmth and happiness to the homes that receive them; can also serve as a window to her country and its peoples.
