« Lonely, artistically speaking, independent, rabidly colorful, and expressive. »
Karen Kruse is a Spanish artist whose paintings have been exhibited nationally, as well as in Denmark, Germany, and Greece. After years in her career in the restoration of older works of art, she decided to pursue her own artistic expression. Isolation is the central theme in her compositions, which, ironically, unites us all. Kruse feels that as much as we communicate, we are essentially alone, 'inside our skin'. Her bold portraits and landscapes are imbued with emotion.
