Karenina is a multidisciplinary artist working across 2D animation, Graphic Design, painting, and music production. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Digital Arts with a concentration in animation, along with a minor in Art History. While creating art, she experiments throughout diverse aesthetics, merging visual, auditory, and animated mediums.

Drawing from her Puerto Rican heritage she creates work that both represents and reimagines cultural identity. These themes are not treated as fixed ideas, but as evolving forces that shape and inform her artistry.

Her visual work, spanning graphic design, oil painting, and digital drawing, centers on the expressive potential of light. She uses light as both a structural element, creating compositions that feel luminous, atmospheric, and at times transcendent. Her work invites viewers into environments that feel heightened and immersive.

In animation, Karenina approaches motion as a tool for experimentation, deliberately departing from realism to create fluid, exaggerated, and surreal forms. By manipulating character movement alongside dynamic shifts in perspective and “camera” positioning, she constructs visual experiences that challenge perceptions of space and reality.

Influenced by growing up in the digital age, Karenina’s artistic development has been shaped by the vast and ever-evolving landscape of the internet. Allowing the artist to grow up watching media from a wide variety of artists. Karenina’s current focus as a creative is to develop visuals and time based media around the stories she creates and the ideologies she explores.
