Born in Santos in 1988, Karyna Iglesias began her artistic journey as a model in Brazil at a young age. She obtained a degree in painting from the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Lisbon in 2015 and explored the world of Sculpture during her academic pursuits. Her artworks can be found in various private collections worldwide, including The Global Collection of The Standard Chartered Bank in Taiwan. Drawing inspiration from her fashion background, love for fine arts, and boundless imagination, Karyna's creative works reflect a deep admiration for the female form, influenced by her experience as a mother of two. Her paintings beautifully portray women exuding sensuality and femininity, often depicted in water under sunlight. The symbolic presence of water in her art represents nature's forces, the passage of time, life's essence, fertility, and enigmatic aspects of existence. In her words, "My art pays homage to life's innate beauty, capturing the priceless gems of the fleeting present."
