ABOUT ME

I am Karin Merx, an artist based in London UK
I help womxn/women reconnect with their true inner beauty by painting portraits as a story & creating a typographical portrait (biographical) Art Book of your story
Art has always been my life it is what I breathe; art is who I am. I started as a classically trained musician (trained at the former Sweelinck Conservatorium in Amsterdam) and simultaneously had this profound passion for visual art. In music they called me the storyteller, in portraits, I found the stories.
Especially portraits had my attention. It was not so much the technique, but how they were telling me a story. Portraits are the landscapes of life. READ MORE

What Customers Say
Stories create magic!! They are powerful accounts of love, grief and resilience. Thank you Karin for enabling me to tell my own. Working with you was wonderful. And seeing my book evolve from a magical conversation 2 years ago at Stonewall Head Quarters to this beautiful work of art is simply incredible. The process was so cathartic.

I love how you are changing perceptions through art, and showing so much love, gratitude and hope through your work

I never saw a picture of my brother. When I saw Karin's portrait my heart skipped a beat. There he was! Thank you, Karin, for creating this very special piece of art!

The work of Karin M. has given me a new understanding of Art and the vast abilities of Artist. To take my words, my story and shape it into written and typography Art bound in a book is awesomely amazing. Now I have a book about me, for me, shaped with my words by this Artist Karin M. Thank you so much 💓
