Christine Karas

Christine Karas has always been fascinated with the feminine form. Whether painting voluptuous vixens exhibiting their charms or voodoo goddesses casting spells, Karas makes art about female beauty and sexuality. Her pin-up style paintings have been featured in magazines such as Hustler, Chic, Siren and Axcess. She draws upon images and archetypes from the past to create contemporary portraits of women who understand the power of their sexuality and use it to explore fantasy and assert their autonomy.

Her work can be seen in the Black Maria Gallery in Los Angeles.
