Hi! I’m karina.

Russian-speaking Latvian. Visual artist. Self-expression ambassador. Movement lover. Lived in Ireland for 21 years. Followed my heart to Bali.

I feel like I’ve come a full circle in my photography journey, arriving at a place where everything finally feels right. Over the past 18 years, no matter the genre I explored, something always felt off. Realness. Or the lack of it. So, I began peeling away the layers of artifice in my work, one by one.


Compositing. Liquify. Flowing dresses. Flower crowns. Airbrushing, Full-on makeup. Clothes. Posing.

I got rid of everything because I reached a profound realisation: there’s nothing more beautiful than real, raw, unfiltered life and authentic self-expression.

In my work, I move away from conventional aesthetics to reveal people’s true energy creating images that feel alive rather than polished. I believe the world changes when bold self-expression inspires rather than intimidates, and where vulnerability and courage matter more than the masks we hide behind.

Working with women, my intention has always been simple: to create a space where they don’t need to perform or explain themselves. A space built on trust, curiosity, and shared love for art - where connection grows naturally and community forms on its own.

If this resonates with you, you’re welcome to stay in touch. I don’t send regular newsletters or weekly updates. I write only when there’s something that truly matters - an invitation to a creative project, a gathering, or a moment worth sharing.

If you’d like to be part of that circle, you can leave your email below.
