The Artist
Portrait
Karine Dherbey
Karine Dherbey works at the intersection of nature and studio practice. Her work spans
painting, printmaking and drawing, exploring living forms — animals, botanicals, landscapes —
with a sensitive line and a restrained palette.
Under the name KOADART (from the Breton koad, meaning "forest"), she has
documented her artistic life on Instagram since 2019, sharing works in progress, finished pieces
and moments from the studio.
Her practice is rooted in the tradition of printmaking and figurative drawing, while seeking
a quiet contemporaneity — unhurried, unforced.
The studio
A space of natural light, white walls and raw materials. This is where the series come to life — through repetition and silence.
