More About Karenina Fabrizzi

Question Icon What inspires you?

In my work organic elements are the key. Our world is organic, full of energy, in constant change and movement; nothing is fixed for eternity, everything moves and transform into something else, and nature is the best example of that. It is fragile and extremely powerful at the same time.

Question Icon Describe your creative process.

I like to use many layers in my work, combining antique textiles, hand mede rice paper painted with the tradicional Renascence technique of egg tempera using fine gold leaf, to slowly build up my pieces and tranform it into something precious and unique.
