Missing my cat (2017) Painting by Carina Linné

Carina is a versatile artist with a great experimental desire. She paints, sculpts, writes poetry and likes to put her various art forms together. In 2021, she published a book with her paintings combined with haiku poems "Lyckoflingor och bitterhetsfrön".

Carina's art conveys joy, imagination, and humour, but there is also a touch of sadness, as for example in her childhood stories that she painted during a period. A series of them, three paintings together with music, were shown as an installation at Liljevalch's Spring Salon in 2011.

Carina is self-taught but has participated in many shorter and longer painting courses over the years. For some years she lived in France. There she painted with artists from different countries in the art association "Le Hangar Centers des Arts".

Carina started painting as an adult, but she soon developed a style with her own clear voice in both painting and sculpture.

"Life consists of both sadness and joy" says Carina. I want to convey that with my art.
