About
Karina Jambrak is an Australian artist based in Sydney. She often draws inspiration from the raw beauty of the natural environment and landscapes found around her eastern suburbs studio, trips abroad as well as far flung fantasised lands of exotic creatures and sun drenched, contoured landscapes. Her works are mostly inspired by an untouched land; a mesmerising oasis, home to exotic animals peacefully roaming amongst lush plains. A lover of warm earthy tones, Karina’s pieces usually feature rich tones and layers of intricate patterns. She seeks to evoke feelings of optimism and freedom within the viewer as she transports them to her picturesque vistas. Being ever-curious and creative, Karina enjoys experimenting with different mediums and techniques and branching out with different subject matters to create surprising and refreshing collections with broad appeal.
Karina has been creating for as long as she can remember earning money as a teenager from selling her self-taught artworks at Sydney’s famous Bondi Markets when she was just 17. Since then, Karina obtained a Bachelor’s degree in textile and graphic design, graduating from the University of NSW, College of Fine Arts in 2005. From there she pursued a successful graphic and textile design career, working for some of Australia’s biggest clothing retail brands, before unexpectedly being made redundant in 2018. Unbeknownst at the time, this roadblock and what felt like a huge set back, was the birth of something new and exciting for Karina as she started to ‘create’ again for herself.
In May 2019, with great trepidation she launched her business. Despite riding the highs and lows of being a small business owner, Karina has never looked back. She is filled with immense gratitude for the opportunity to be able to share her passion and inspirations in her pieces.
Her unique approach to art and experience in retail has led her to work in her capacity as an artist with iconic Australian and international brands such as Adairs, The Jungalow, Kollab, Greenhouse Interiors, Hallmark, Budgy Smuggler, illustrated a children’s book and has been featured on The Block.
Karina mostly hand draws or paints using copic markers or gouache and acrylic polymer emulsion on paper or canvas, creating limited edition originals. All paper prints are Giclee printed (using archival inks) on 100% textured cotton rag, 310gsm museum grade fine art paper. 340gsm artist canvas, poly-cotton OBA free is used to produce a true fine art canvas reproductions. All artworks are printed in a small printing studio in NSW Australia and are made to order to reduce waste.
