Statement
Hello! I'm Kara and I produce my work using digital mixed mediums. Through Lukisan Kabut, I spend time depicting the ‘Kelam-Kabut’ (Chaotic in Malay) nature of womanhood. There is a lot of portraiture of myself and also artworks shedding light on the struggles and victories of womanhood. I use a lot of vivid colors because I paint a different view of situations in my mind.

I hope my work can be relatable to most, and especially bring some color and character to the table.
