Works by Karen Biehl
"The elusiveness of color, the immensity of the natural elements, and the instinctive movement in this work seem to constitute an ancestral dance. And although it does not literally refer to a dance, it finds its identity in movement. As an indecipherable challenge, the stains of the painting reveal themselves, and it is in this play of tensions that we find the most authentic development of the brushstrokes and the layers of paint that make up the body of this work. They are gestural brushstrokes that, in abstraction, assemble a story that is not narrative but metaphorical. It is between the sky and the earth, in the reflection of the water and in the immateriality of the air, where I let emerge the vestiges of my childhood memories, the cultural heritage and my connection with nature."
Born in Buenos Aires in 1946
She studied drawing at the workshop of Miguel Ángel Vidal (1968-1970), later perfecting her skills at the Brera Academy (Milan, Italy).
Her painting teachers have been Jorge Demirjián (1976-1980), Adolfo Nigro (1983-1987) and Guillermo Roux (2001). She attended Anna Rank's workshop (2002-2006) deepening her studies with live models and abstract painting.
