Charina Koraksic

Canadian Oil Pastel Artist

Artist’s Statement:

Charina Koraksic is a contemporary, impressionist landscape artist living in Burlington, Ontario. She captures the fleeting beauty of nature through oil pastels and cold wax medium, focusing on texture, light, and atmosphere. Her process involves layering these materials to evoke depth and mood, drawing inspiration from quiet, reflective moments in the natural world.

"The first time I touched oil pastels, it felt like discovering a new language—one that spoke directly to the softness of the sky and the rough edges of the earth," Charina says, describing her approach as a balance between control and spontaneity. Each piece invites the viewer to pause and reconnect with the world around them.

Charina's artwork has been featured in various art events in Ontario and is exhibited in private collections across Canada and in the United States.
