Artist Recognition
Artist featured in a collection
This painting was inspired by the staircase in an artist freinds house in Southwest France which is twisty and has a opening to the sky above, it twists and turns and the wood shines. The house is full of interesting objects and vistas through to other rooms. There is one rug but many views and steps so it is painted three times because as you walk across you see it in different ways. As usual with my work the subject is always light and the journey. I invite you to take the mysterious, slightly troglodyte journey up the stairs or through the doorway.

I paint interiors and people. I am also active in promoting peace. I paint to commission of both portraits and interiors.. Interiors I paint the mystery of spaces, the beauty of architecture and furnishings but primarily the light in inspirational interiors in oil and watercolour and pastel.. Among others I am influenced by SInger Sergeant, Zorn, Vermeer and the dutch school, Hammershoi, Jeremiah Goodman and Vuillard. I work in the traditional way of developing the picture plane so a senses of entering into the space is created. I want the viewer to be able to lose themselves in the interior, lose time , dream and enjoy the sense of anticipation as to what will happen next , who will come in or what has just happened here. There is a narrative that the viewer develops. The viewer is invited into the picture to make the space their own , hopefully feel at home , or uplifted or just a little unsettled. There is an increasing interest in paintings of interiors and I am collected as there are not so many painters who work like this. Probably my past experience as an interior designer has helped. Following in the tradition of the Dutch and Danish interior painters, who made records of interiors my work is more parred down and softer. It is more about the light effects than the fabrics and colours. The last two years I have been developing work on staircases that reflect Piranesi and Escher in a way, fascinated by the continual up and down and changes of direction. The staircases area reflection of the way my world is at the moment. I am inspired primarily by places I visit but I also adapt and alter what I see. I enjoy being able to capture the wide view , the various viewpoints rather than a single viewpoint. PAINTING PEOPLE When a person has an atmosphere of intelligence and wisdom beyond their years , when they are sensitive and thoughtful. I want to paint. I paint to commission too. I like to work pastel into large painted boards or oil on board. I am particularly drawn to the translucence of young people. Their faces tell their stories and their awareness. www.karina-knight.com ARCTIVIST!
