Mariska Karto
I create very diverse work. In addition to individual work, I also create grotesque works in which I depict societies. What interests me most is the world, nature, people, identity and culture. I photograph human figures as well as nature and landscapes. In my work there is mostly an underlying thought, deeper layers or question. Sometimes I have the answer and sometimes I'm searching for the answer in my work. ---------------------------------------------------------
My figurework:
My work reflects similarities and differences from my mixed cultural background. I mix my origins with feminine hypnotic beauty and call it the soul of my art.
My work is alienating, I photograph women of different ethnicities and place them in a historically rich setting. I show them with all their beautiful colors, regardless of their rank and status. Unthinkable in a time period between 1700 and 1900.
She believes that, besides beauty and aesthetic designs, art also aims reflection of the soul. Art has also the power to make us feel better.
