Artist Karina Gentinetta at home in New Orleans

“[Karina Gentinetta] is ebullient as a fountain on hyper-spritz.”

-The New York Times

Karina Gentinetta’s large-scale canvases are characterized by all-over black pencil markings, occasional bursts of color and a strong compositional sense. Her works are often dramatic with bold, audacious strokes. They convey a sense of childlike innocence which is curiously juxtaposed by disciplined and perfectly balanced compositions. This carefully orchestrated artistic incongruity speaks of the constant inner battle the artist (who is also a former lawyer) feels between the logical versus the creative pulls in her life.
