Karin Holmström born 1978, raised in Södertälje, now active and living in Stockholm. From an academic background and work in the business and fashion industry at H&M, the passion for creating has always been there - like a freedom valve. Several art studies and courses in parallel with the work have given Holmström a solid foundation to stand on. She now works full-time with art. A decision that emerged after her father passed away from cancer, which made her choose to focus on her love of art. Where the creative journey is something very special to explore, at the same time being open to life and what it can contribute. Holmström has been represented on TV4, where her paintings have appeared in Malou von Siewer's "Malou after ten".

Through her figurative abstract painting, layer upon layer, paintings with multiple dimensions are created. Her experiences from real life are reflected, where elegant colors, shapes and light are of importance. Her pictures open up in a pleasant way for the viewers to search for the answers within themselves. Karin paints in acrylic and

oil, stock onlager, in the search for her unique expression. The motifs often revolve around sensual female figures, animals and nature. It is a constantly ongoing process before the paintings can stand on their own two feet. In recent years, Karin has shown her work in over 20 different exhibitions and she makes annual donations to the Swedish Cancer Society and the World Wildlife Fund, which are very dear to her heart.
