Karin Van Beeck
Disciplines: Fine Art, Sculpture & Paper-Mache Art
Exhibiting & Local Artist
Karin Van Beeck is a Belgian artist of great individuality, rooted in her talent for sharp, objective observation. She previously gained recognition for state-of-the-art Pop Art creations laced with a touch of black humor—until a personal life challenge temporarily diverted her path and paused her creative expression.
Relocating to Cómpeta reignited her artistic spark through the village's lightness of being. Moving beyond traditional painting and photography, Karin has reinvented her practice into a brand-new genre: handcrafted paper-mache sculpture made entirely from recycled egg cartons. Through an intricate manufacturing process, she magically transforms humble grey mash into witty, classy, and feather-light art objects.

As an exhibiting artist at La Casa de Artistas—a brand-new venue for art in Cómpeta—Karin presents her collection of paper-mache sculptures for the annual Paseo Del Arte. Visitors are invited to experience how raw pulp is sculpted into expressive, weightless forms that bring humor and elegance into contemporary spaces.
