It first became known through works in which representations of bodies, often tortured, were carried by austere acrylic colors. She has painted the female body since her beginnings. She immersed herself in human pain and drama.

In 2016, a new phase, apparently calmer, more spiritual, of the series " Mandala".

It is based on a universal geometric language which affirms the painting as a fragment of the world of harmony, where the boundaries are dissolved between the visible and the invisible , the mathematical and the artistic, the spiritual and the visual. Karin is also interested in the power of signs and symbols. The arabesques, curved and rhythmic lines have a narrative character. We feel the metaphysical dimension in this series of paintings.

In 2018, she began to develop her painting on the universe, and at the same time, she focused her attention not only on the stars but also on earth. In a series of works entitled " Cosmos ", Karin still continues her cosmic exploration of the stars and the universe. Alongside his series of paintings entitled " Gaia " allows us to rediscover his work with materials and colors on a circular format. This series of paintings is inspired by nature, they tell us about the earth in all that it has to offer.

She uses different techniques and materials: lace, acrylic paints, oil paints. #039;oil, paints for ceramics and stained glass, glue, sand, recycled materials. The resin allows him to play with light and gives these works a particularity and relief.
