Polina Karuso is an emerging artist, living and working in Wollombi, Hunter Valley, Australia.
Polina is a very passionate and prolific plein-air landscape artist.
She travels around, mainly Hunter Valley, capturing incredible vistas of her local area. As well as the Hunter , Polina has worked in Broken hill, Lightning Ridge, Hill End.
As well as Australian landscape, Polina is interested in spiritual conversations, connecting human inner being with the outside world. Discussions about the human condition, relationships and interactions between people is also a prevalent theme within her practise.
Polina uses an extensive variety of art mediums, including charcoal, oil, acrylic, water colour and others. She uses small hard wood blocks as the surface for her paintings, which are recycled from a local bush furniture maker.
By doing this, her work gains unique weight and physicality.
