Paulina Kara

Paulina Kara graduated from the Artistic Department at Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin – diploma in painting from the studio of J. Wojciechowski. The main motif of her works and installations is human figures. The most characteristic elements of her work are puppets: a caricatured representation of fictional or real characters by means of which she highlights social and cultural absurdities with an ironic “tongue in cheek”. Her installations frequently reverse in a perverse way the relation between the viewer and the viewed object. Since 2004 she is associated with the circles of the Biała Gallery and the Young Forum of Art.
