"Caitlin Karolczak intertwines the past with the present through the combination of age-old painting techniques with
provocative contemporary themes. Karolczak's painting technique is informed by 17th and 18th century portraiture. She
hauntingly captures beauty in the most unimaginable circumstances, especially to a 21st century viewer.
Karolczak’s work is internationally shown and collected. She resides in Minneapolis as a full time artist and gallery co-owner
of Spinario. There she handles original artworks as diverse as 15th century engravings to paintings by Ray Parker, Zao Wou
Ki, and Otto Dix. Her exposure to this unpredictable array of works has given her a broader understanding of art that
enriches her own."
