Karin Ulrike Soika - Informal Abstract Expressionistic Painting and Philosophy

l Karin Ulrike Soika

my language is
vibrant color and line...

I am an artist.

Welcome!

Sometimes I think my life was easier if I wasn’t. .But now .it is too late, I cannot help it. Being an artists sometimes .is difficult, as it never allows you to indulge in the .illusion of a “safe life”, one of “obey the rules and everything. will work out fine”. .

Becoming .an artist means sacrifice. I had to leave behind .many things, people, places, possessions, things that .would have bound me. Instead I gained the most precious gift of all: freedom.

Being an artist means a life of surprise. Nothing is sure. Everything can .change .unexpectedly.
One big, very special adventure.

One of the artists I .admire most is Joseph Beuys. who .says:
“Everybody is an artist”.
I subscribe to .that.

In each and everyone of us lies this .divine power to create, to pull things .from the deep inside yourself out to. the light and give it a form: a .piece .of art.

The act to create is essential .to being a human. It gives all the .pleasure and satisfaction nothing else .can ever give.

Art. is about creating.
Our. entire life is about creating: it .is our purpose in life.

So I invite .to join me and enjoy my work – .and maybe let inspire you to embark on a .similar journey: to a place deep.inside – and reaching out for the .world at the same time..
