The whole piece measures approximately 12” x 18”. This piece is surreal and is sure to be a conversation piece for your home or place of business. There are amazing swirls and scratches in the paint.

My art has been featured on the National Television Series “College Hill Five“ and is in the upcoming book FORM 2008--available through amazon.com!
As with all my copper paintings, nail and hammer marks are retained. This painting will change in different lighting due to the reflective qualities of the copper underneath. This painting is wired and ready to hang. The copper "eyes" are placed in such a way that the painting may be rewired to hang horizontally--or even upside down. Each copper eye has a felt backing to protect your wall. The painting is signed and dated on the back.
My work is titled based on current personal experience and the look of a piece. When a painting is purchased, I reveal the explanation of title to the owner. We are the only ones who have this information, unless the owner decides to reveal it. In this way, the owner and I have a personal connection through the painting. The purchaser will receive a Certificate of Authenticity and an Explanation of Title.
I am one of a handful of artists in America who uses copper as a canvas. You may see many artists that use metallic paint, but I am the only one on this site that uses this amazing medium.

Does the art on your walls make others stop and stare? Is the art you own an enchanting conversation piece when you have a party or group of friends over? Do you like being one of the first collectors who has the eye to spot a popular artist before they are well known? Does the art you own seem to pull you in, moving and changing throughout the day as a wonderful escape?
Fortunately, it’s easy to own a ONE OF A KIND ORIGINAL from Karina Keri-Matuszak!
The day I saw a copper painting in 2005 was the day my art was taken to a whole other level. I'm so glad I discovered this rare and unique art form. I'm thrilled to be able to bring this type of art to you too, so that you can experience it in person as well.
My name is Karina Keri-Matuszak. I specialize in Copper Art. Copper Art is very unusual. It has a shimmering stained glass feel, but is much more urban and rough. It is very rustic, and retains hammer marks and nails. Copper Art takes on a completely different look based on the lighting and the reflective quality of the copper. It almost seems to move and change. I'm sure you will enjoy this art as much as I enjoyed creating it!
I studied art at the American College for the Applied Arts in the U.S. and London in the early 1990s. After designing wedding gowns for 7 years, I now uses my textile skills to work with the copper. I exhibit my work all over the country. I sell online, in retail outlets, and in galleries.
