Karalla - Bio

- Bio -

Karalla works between the modern backdrop of New York City and the rural south
of Basilicata, Italy. Continuously experimenting and pushing her medium, Karalla
acknowledges that the path of producing her work is never clear. What is important
is listening to her inner-self, fully aware that figuring out the final result is of no
consequence. It is IN the process that her art is born.
