Miranda Karskens

Miranda completed her training at the teacher training college in Utrecht in the subjects of crafts and drawing.
She usually does not work with a preconceived idea, the irregular shape of the stone inspires her to a certain shape. She works a lot in the hard types of stone, bluestone and marble, and sees it as a challenge to create a soft shape despite the hardness of the material. The images invite you to be touched.
Other materials Miranda works with are granite and the softer stone types of alabaster and serpentine.
With her oil paintings, Miranda tries to evoke emotions, reactions or questions in the viewer by placing people in a specific environment or situation. The atmosphere is often determined by the background, painted with colors that give a mysterious effect.
She paints individual and group portraits on commission.
