Charlotte Baqai, known by her artistic name Karaya, is a London-based international artist whose vibrant journey into the world of painting began following transformative life experiences. Since 2021, Karaya has poured her innermost emotions into her work, employing acrylic paint and inks exclusively with her hands. This unique approach reflects her dual passion as a Reiki Master, emphasizing the healing energy that flows through her creative process. Karaya’s art is a visual representation of energy transmutation, illustrating how darkness transforms into light, stagnancy into vibrancy and shadows into colour. She passionately believes in the healing power of creative expression and aims to share this philosophy with audiences worldwide.
