Karen Rootenberg, Cape Town Artist

Original paintings exploring humanness, soul, spiritual depth and the mystery of being human.

My artistic mission is to express the dynamic of “humanness”.

What it means to be “human” is not that easily defined. For me it has to do with my journey of finding and expressing my soul’s authenticity. I hope my authentic soul speaks to your authentic soul in my artistic work.

My art may awaken your thinking and enliven your feeling. It may disturb. It may delight, be a source of beauty or cause pain; it may inspire or deflate. At some level it may even change you.

Ultimately I hope it enriches your own journey of soul authenticity which speaks to the miracle of being human.
