Karena de Pont

​

​

​

Karena de Pont is a visual artist whose body of work is an assemblage of different expressions from contemporary oil paintings through to abstract acrylic paintings, to sculpture, and more; whatever works best to bring her vision to life.

​

​Covid lockdowns in New Zealand in 2020 and 2021 forced Karena to re-evaluate her art practice and to look at what she had at home that could be used as alternative foundations for her paintings and this exploration is the starting point for all of her current series of work - Burnt Offerings, Islands, Fluid and her  Earth Sticks - continuing her art practice of variation in both form and methodology.

​

Karena is based in Mahurangi West, north of Auckland, New Zealand.  Please contact her directly for any enquiries regarding her art practice, work or commissions.
