This month’s Monthly Muse features the extraordinary journey of Karina Gentinetta—a former litigator whose path to abstract painting was shaped by displacement, reinvention, and profound personal loss. Born in Buenos Aires and raised in New Orleans, Gentinetta channels the duality of her roots into bold, emotionally charged works that merge fragility with strength. Her canvases—layered with plaster, house paint, and raw gesture—reflect a deep tension between logic and spontaneity, structure and freedom. From courtroom to canvas, her story unfolds in each mark, offering a visual language that is both intimate and expansive.
