Carina Kastenhuber's artistic creative process impressively navigates between technical precision and intuitive depth. Her painting is rooted in realism, but instead of limiting herself to a pure reproduction of the external world, she creates new levels of perception through detailed, almost meditative elaboration. She works with acrylic paints and, increasingly, oil paints, applying them in carefully constructed layers that create depth and transparency, or spontaneously in an alla prima technique when the dynamics of the picture require it.

For Kastenhuber, realistic representation is never merely a reproduction, but always a resonance chamber. Her technical skill enables her to connect the visible with the invisible, the external with internal processes. Through the deliberate introduction of surreal elements, she lends her works additional symbolic layers—they function as mirrors of inner landscapes, unconscious visions, and emotional processes.

Color plays a particularly important role in Kastenhuber's works, especially the use of gold. This is not merely a decorative element, but a carrier of deep spiritual meanings – a symbol of transformation, healing, and reconnection to universal or divine forces.

In her painting technique, Kastenhuber deliberately combines technical excellence with energetic intention. For her, each painting is not only a visual manifestation, but a consciously created energetic space in which subtle impulses are subtly woven. Those who are receptive to this level feel an energetic resonance that goes far beyond the visual. Thus, a work by Carina Kastenhuber opens up on several levels: aesthetic, symbolic, and energetic, inviting deep reflection and inner exploration. Her painting is both an invitation and a companion on a personal journey toward healing, insight, and self-realization.
