Hello! My name is Karina Marchenko.

I discovered my love for drawing by chance. As a child, I got into an art studio and the world of colors just mesmerized me. I had excellent abilities and my works won prizes at children's art competitions.

But adulthood is not always like your childhood dream. For many years I had to engage in completely different activities. In 2014, I fell seriously ill and suddenly not only woke up in me, but literally a desire to draw. I bought paints, found video tutorials on YouTube and began to comprehend this art. Later I began to draw on my own what inspired me or gave birth to my own imagination. My work was successful. All my paintings that I created during my illness were sold or donated. Now they are in private collections around the world.

After all this, the realization came to me that I do not want to do anything other than drawing. I continue to study all the time and paint pictures every day, because I am sure that the skill must be constantly honed. I live in Greece with my family.
