Karen Rifas uses a precise palette of contrasting hues to transform spatial perception, creating sculptural forms which draw viewers into her works. Rifa’s distinctive geometric abstractions, dedication to form and hand painting places her among other great female artists such as Lee Carmen Herrera and Zilia Sanchez. Rifas is well known for her minimal cord and leaf installations, and precise, methodical line drawings, Rifas began a focused exploration into the constructive possibilities of color in 2016. Her solo exhibition at The Bass Museum in 2018 opened to acclaim and followed solo shows at the Museum of Art and Design at Miami Dade College, the de la Cruz Collection and the Savannah College of Art and Design.
