Portfolio Review by a Prestigious Gallerist

Pedro Carrasco, founder of CARRASCO Gallery (Madrid), shares his insights on Karin Schäfer’s work.

As part of a professional review program by Singulart, Karin Schäfer recently received a portfolio evaluation by Pedro Carrasco — a renowned gallerist and founder of CARRASCO Gallery, which originated in Lisbon and expanded to Madrid as the first Portuguese gallery abroad. With over 20 years of experience in the art and design sector, Carrasco brings a strategic and well-informed perspective to the contemporary art market.

In his review, Carrasco highlighted several key strengths of Karin Schäfer’s artistic work:

“What stands out in Karin Schäfer’s portfolio is the visual coherence. Despite the variations in composition and format, there is a clear thematic focus and a consistent visual language running through all the works.”

He also praised the material choices and vibrant colour palette:

“Karin Schäfer’s works feature a vibrant palette — with natural blues used in strong contrast. The mix of paper, fabric and synthetic supports adds a compelling material depth to her collages.”

One of the central themes in Schäfer’s portfolio — the longing for travel and the desire to get lost — was received with enthusiasm:

“The focus on wanderlust and the desire to get lost is clearly visible — and original. This particularity gives the work its unique voice, and I see potential for representation in prestigious galleries.”

Carrasco concluded with an encouraging note on the artist’s future prospects:

“I do see market potential for Karin Schäfer’s work — especially if supported by a professional network. Collaborating with a curator or gallery could further strengthen her artistic direction and visibility within the contemporary art context.”

Singulart’s summery:

“This review confirms what many already appreciate about Karin Schäfer’s work: it is visually distinct, conceptually resonant, and ripe for further recognition in the international art scene.”
