Artist whose work draws from personal introspection and everyday surroundings. Starting with cartoon characters in his youth, Karms has developed a distinctive visual language blending surreal elements with expressive use of color, light, and shadow. His paintings reflect a deep observation of humanity—transforming objects like pineapples or narcissus flowers into symbolic characters. Guided by both head and heart, his creative process is fueled by conversations, emotions, and the smallest details in life. As he puts it, “Everything is Karms”—a reflection of his ongoing exploration of the human condition.
This piece reflects a state of emotional exhaustion and inertia. With a dreamlike figure suspended in stillness, the work captures the quiet weight of being stuck within one’s own inner world.
