KARABO’s statement

What can I say? I’m just your every-day misfit living with MS (multiple sclerosis) and ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder).

Art started off as being my outlet for any and all trials and tribulations I’ve faced following my diagnoses. Naturally, my artistic journey began with medical art but has since taken on new forms and fascinations.

Those who know me personally would describe me as someone who has a profound love for all things whimsical , psychedelic, and metaphysical. This eclectic appreciation is not merely a hobby; it is a lens through which I view the world, and a foundation upon which my artistic endeavors are built. My work is a vivid reflection of neo-expressionism, a movement that celebrates the raw, unfiltered emotions and experiences that shape our existence. Each piece I create serves as a unique testament to the complexities of human life, inviting viewers to delve into the depths of their own consciousness.

My artistic journey is intricately woven with the threads of my past—each brushstroke echoes the stories of my previous global travels, the myriad hardships I have encountered, lost loves, and a conscious rebellion against societal norms that overly emphasize  superficial attributes such as  appearances, race, nationality, and gender.I strive to highlight the universal emotions and shared experiences that connect us all. In this way, my art transcends boundaries, engaging a diverse audience and inviting them to explore their own narratives through the vibrant colors and dynamic forms that characterize my creations.

In essence, my art is not just a collection of unique pieces; it is a vibrant tapestry of life experiences, woven together with threads of emotion, energy, and a deep-seated need for self-expression. As I continue to explore the realms of neo-expressionism, I invite viewers to join me on this journey of discovery and reflection, where every stroke of the brush serves as a reminder that we are all interconnected in our shared humanity.
