Biography

Of German origin, Karin Averkin now lives and works in Geneva.

Gifted with a high potential of creativity since childhood, in her adolescence she chose to express herself through painting. Inspired by nature, she first explored figurative painting before, over the years, turning to abstract art and mixed media. Today, she uses different textures (paper, fabrics, sand…) and a rich palette of colours which seem to vibrate to the rhythm of the various kinds of music she listens to while painting.

It is no coincidence if, in addition to her painting, she has moved professionally towards architecture and interior design to express her creativity.
