I’m Karin Melzer, a visual artist from Chile, currently living in Brisbane, Australia. My artistic journey began as a way to adapt and express myself after moving to this new country with my family. Amid the process of building a new life and raising my four children, painting became my personal space — a place of freedom, color, and emotion.
My work is deeply inspired by the Australian landscape, especially the ocean, its coral reefs, and the bubbles that float beneath the surface. From this connection, my collections Happy Bubbles and Dark Bubbles were born — exploring both joy and lightness, as well as deeper, more introspective emotions, always through the symbol of the bubble.
Painting has become my way of communicating the invisible, transforming experience into color, and sharing beauty and feeling with the world.
