Karina Mosser, PSA was born and raised in Russia. Even after years of residence in the US, she is still influenced by the vast and mysterious landscapes of that country. She emigrated to the US in the 1990s and has been an artist and art teacher ever since. Most recently living and working in Washington, DC, her work also reflects the influence of American contemporary culture. Karina has exhibited her work in Moscow, Russia, and continues to do so in the Washington, DC area, where she currently resides. Her work is also shown in a number of Northern Virginia and Maryland venues.
Artistic Process: Karina has developed her unique blending technique, which requires multiple layers of different shades. The interaction of colors adds brilliance to the painting. Karina began her artistic journey with watercolors and gouache and currently is most focused on soft pastels and acrylic on canvas. Her painting style is minimalistic, with composition and design meant to project feelings of hope, harmony, and serenity. The majority of her paintings are abstract landscapes and seascapes with a strong fantasy/whimsical aspect.
Inclusive Philosophy: Karina believes that everyone should be able to own and enjoy original artworks. In 2022 she launched a “Platinum Collection” to make art ownership accessible to new collectors like recent college graduates. She enjoys consulting with first-time art buyers.
Education: Karina holds a degree in education and art studies from Moscow University.
