About

The Journey

Karen Novoa has dedicated her career to exploring the connection between nature, emotion, and symbolism through art. Her work merges surreal elements with a natural sensitivity, using a technique refined through years of practice and research.

Throughout her journey, she has lived in Colombia, Spain, Canada, and currently in Bangkok, Thailand. Each place has deeply influenced her visual language, shaping the way she approaches color, composition, and the elements present in her work.

Shienakara was born from this personal and multicultural path. More than a gallery, it is an extension of her creative process. A space where she shares original works and limited editions that reflect her way of seeing and feeling the world through art.
