Karen D’Oliveira

Originally from Middlesborough in the north of the UK and a childhood immersed in a large family that were love with arts and crafts, Karen D’Oliveira moved to Portugal more than 20 years ago and has since established herself as a talented and highly sought after artist.

Karen’s early career was in the beauty industry and it was here she became fascinated with the human form. Specializing in oil, her paintings delicately capture human movement and expression using sensitive, flowing brush strokes.

Karen’s art conveys a natural yet contemporary vintage style, perfect for capturing beautiful subtleties; form and posture, character and mood and the complexities of light and shadow as they fall across her subjects.
