How they feel it
I am grateful for each person that has came across my work: paintings, coaching, workshops. You can read their beautiful words on their experiences.
Many times art is more than a painting - it is a feeling & constant communication.
‘Infinite Power’
‘My daughter saw this painting in a gallery and sent me a message. “Mom, there’s a painting here that looks just like you.” When I got a picture of it, I was moved.
Karolina brought the painting to our home, which I thought was a lovely gesture. I got to talk about the creation of the painting and her thoughts on it. I didn’t get answers to all my questions, such as what the texts say. there is mysticism in the painting. Text that you can’t figure out, a charged atmosphere and a power that speaks to you. I often stop by this painting, as if I want to know what it’s telling me. Sometimes I draw strength from it: Inner power. Your power. My power.’

Co-creation with intention
‘Group artwork at Karolina's studio was simply the perfect way to celebrate a mother's blessing hosted by my friends. It was a wonderful opportunity for us to come together and create something meaningful. What emerged from this experience was unexpected and delightful—along with the vibrant colors, we collaboratively created a large piece of art now gifted to our son.
Thank you, Karolina, for your thoughtfulness and for giving us the chance to create something so special together.’

‘It was me all along’
‘I received my painting from my daughter as a housewarming gift for my new home. I was really impressed and happy with this wonderful, lovely work done in my favorite colors. The writing in the artwork was more coincidental than I thought. The dark deep blue is so inspiring. The beautiful light greens and a touch of contrasting orange illuminate the dark blues.
I have seen other works by Karolina and fell in love with the wonderful colors. She is really skilled in using colors.
My Bitossi collecting hobby repeats the colors of the painting. Likewise, the two vintage Gustavsberg table lamps that are still hidden. I still have absolutely wonderful curtain fabrics painted with the same blue with the colors of the painting. My ceramic collecting requires clarification, reduction, so that I can decorate and make my imagination come true.’

Creative coaching goes beyond creating art
'Karolina’s workshops were like therapy for me. I genuinely felt like I am welcomed just the way I am, in exactly the way I happen to be at any given time. Karolina has a magical ability to be present and give space, listen, encourage and motivate.
The workshops don’t just focus on art but they go much deeper than the surface. We search our soul and listen to our heart, we cry, we’re challenged to break familiar formulas, cross over our own minds, laugh water in our eyes.
I have found aspects of myself (both as a person and as an artist) that I did not know I had. The feeling after the workshop was always energetic, motivated and purified. However, the best gift in Karolina's workshops has been a gradual return to faith in oneself and one's own abilities. This woman is a diamond.'

‘Power. My power.’
‘Power. That’s what my favorite artwork is made of. When I’m tired, I sit down and let the amazing blue colour heal me. I constantly see new levels in the painting, levels I want to walk towards.’
