Collection: Karpett

Karpett (Roxanne Chaussalet) has been drawing since she could hold a pen. As a child, she didn't dream of becoming a teacher or a firefighter like everyone else, but wanted to be either a Ninja Turtle or a painter. The second option seemed somewhat more realistic. Somehow, she still believes that art can change the world – naive, stubborn, and without regret. After studying Fine Arts in Rouen, France, Karpett left everything behind in 2020 and moved to Berlin in the middle of the pandemic, in search of freedom and a life determined by creativity, not the daily grind in an office. For a time, she endured a grueling job in a company, but then quit in December 2024 to dedicate herself entirely to her art. No excuses. No regrets. Her works are raw, physical, and untamed: acrylic paints, collages, woodcuts, and large-scale gestures by hand. In a digital world, texture is her rebellion and a way to survive. Color, anger, tenderness, queerness, feminism – all collide on the canvas. Karpett describes her art as "a kiss on the neck and a slap in the face." Chaotic, intimate, disruptive, and vibrant, it exists to reclaim space, to provoke, to connect, and to laugh at the absurdity of it all. Art refuses to sit still, and so does she.
