about the artist's works

Karina Beltrán's artistic production is defined by its variety and stylistic richness. Her pictorial works, generally in small format, are characterized by the use of an abstract, geometric language, in refined and schematic compositions. Conceptually, her work flees from certainties, is situated on that ambiguous and hidden edge of the visible. The artist invents an imaginary of the senses through the construction of a poetic configured from the emotional. It invites us to seek, to question and "question", to reflect on the transitory, the fragility, the unattainable. Being in continuous movement, the individual and the crowd, the external gaze and private reality are issues present in their work, as well as intimacy, isolation, nostalgia, concealment and loss.
