ABOUT

I believe that art doesn’t have to be understood. It has to be honest. If it holds a soul — it will always find another.

I don’t hide behind my art.
I breathe through it.

Art has become not only my meditation and my prayer —
it became my way of being. Of showing up fully, brightly, honestly. Through painting, I began to see myself.
And I allowed myself to be seen.

My paintings are reflections of my inner states —
of my prayers, my choices to walk toward the light, even when everything around calls into the dark. Each piece is a step. Sometimes painful. Sometimes magical. But always true.

I don’t plan compositions. I don’t control color.
I simply listen.
Sometimes — to the canvas.
Sometimes — to myself.
Sometimes — to something greater.
And then the colors start to live their own life, revealing images, symbols, and stories I can’t explain — but deeply feel.

Today, my works take part in international exhibitions, museum projects, and art fairs. I’ve become part of a global creative movement, but for me, art is not a stage. It is a revelation. An inner journey.

I started painting at what I call the “second beginning” of my life. Without formal training, without technique, without expectations. I simply picked up the brush and allowed myself to be real. That’s how my first paintings were born — intuitive, full of inner strength and light.

My name is Karina Lumiere.
I’m an artist who didn’t come to art right away. My journey didn’t begin in an art academy, but in silence — through meditation, spiritual practice, and a search for meaning and light.
