Patterns are everywhere, in nature, your neighbourhood and in your home. A well designed pattern is like a good song or a beautiful painting. It creates atmosphere and experience, touches our senses.
Everything finds it rhythm, weather it´s in nature or in our home where every item finds it´s place and is tied together with patterns and colours in Textile and Wall Art.
My design comes to live in your home.
A home is a sanctuary, a living space that makes us feel joyful, safe, and at peace.
Creating an authentic home is a journey. Collect items that will stay with you. Create a story.
I am an Artist, specialised in Fine Art Printmaking with a B.A degree in Fine Arts. After graduation I studied Multimedia, Animation and Web design.
I´ve spent over 25 years working in Art, Photography, Multimedia, Illustration, Design and Branding. I´m currently based in Iceland, where I was born and raced.
KARA MAREL was created when I started working in Pattern and Surface design in 2017.
THE OCEAN. The Energy & The Calm
Living on an isolated Island surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean has made an impact on my work as an artist.
The colours, the motion and the beach, with its gems that get washed to shore. To take walks on the beach where land meets another mystical world of biodiversity and thinking that over 90% of the Ocean is unseen by the human eye.
JAPANESE CULTURE
I fell in love with wood cut printing when I studied Printmaking in the Academy. I got drawn into the the Fine Art of ukiyo-e and the amazing art of Kimonos and has influenced me ever since.
SLOW LIVING
Authentic Design. Thoughtful Details
To buy less and better, things that matter, that last and give joy.
RESPONSIBILITY
Love and respect for the whole process, from an Idea being born to the design in your home.
My design is ethically-made in balance with nature and people.
I print my textile with a Certified Social Responsible Printing Company.
MISSION
To create atmosphere in my design so you can bring it to your home and create your own stories.
