In Translucent IX, Karen van de Vliet explores the unexpected beauty of a stain: an irregular form that seems accidental yet is carefully composed. Her fascination with such shapes began in childhood, through encounters with ordinary things that appeared both beautiful and slightly off, such as autumn leaves gathered in a puddle.

Translucent materials allow colours and traces from underlying layers to remain visible. Pale blue, black and off-white are interrupted by narrow lines and vivid accents of red, yellow and fluorescent pink. Some elements appear to flow downwards, while thicker areas of paint sit prominently on the surface. The result is a tactile abstract painting that shifts between movement and stillness, precision and chance.

In Translucent XIII, Karen van de Vliet approaches painting as both image and physical object. Translucent materials extend across the surface like overlapping veils, while thick passages of pale blue, white and deep navy introduce weight and texture.

Vertical lines hold the composition together and form a counterpoint to the irregular contours of the painted layers. Amber tones and small accents of yellow, red and pink remain visible through and alongside the more opaque areas. The work changes subtly with the light, continually shifting the balance between transparency, colour and material presence.

In Translucent VIII, Karen van de Vliet uses pale blue, white and soft pink to create a composition that feels calm yet vibrant. Transparent layers overlap with bold lines and textured passages, allowing colour to appear suspended within the work. The combination of movement and stillness gives the painting a strong architectural presence while maintaining a sense of openness.
