Visual Art – Vancouver
Karla (aka Kar) Decoran is a new artist living on Commercial Drive in East Vancouver, BC. She started drawing with ink pen in June 2018, however was sketching since she first picked up a pencil.
Although it was very easy to start drawing lollipops and rainbows, she always had a strong interest in surrealism, the dead and suffering, and expressing beauty with a non-conventional eye.
The purpose of her art is not to be aesthetically pleasing but for her audience to feel, empathize or re-live a familiar time of pain. Frankly, stories of complacency have yet to inspire her.
Music heavily influences her life and art as she has appreciated classic + alternative rock, jazz, and oldies music since she was 10 years old. Where she can she incorporates her favourite music into her art and is consistently inspired by evoking lyrics.
Kar currently works as a registered veterinary technician, enjoys live music, cheap beer and really bad dad jokes.
Her personal heroes include Frida Kahlo, John Lennon, Immanuel Kant, Rupi Kaur, her dad, and any dog.
