" My paintings are raw, emotive, storytelling, provocative, resilient and with humor" Carla aka Artica Amsterdam
Each piece reflects her journey—turning pain into creativity, survival into expression, and emotions into bold, thought-provoking visuals. Carla found refuge in drawing as a child, using her imagination to escape reality and create her own world. Her paintings tell stories—vivid, powerful, and with a playful touch. Inspired by life itself, she blends raw reality with humor and unexpected perspectives. Her boundless creative energy, vibrant thoughts, and unique way of perceiving the world give her work a dynamic and expressive style. Everything she experiences is transformed into images that reveal more than meets the eye.
