Mariska Karto
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.
I want to inspire the world for the better. We all have enchanting skin. We all have magical beauty. We are all one.
My different roots are a continuous influence.
My art determines who I am.
