Translucent XIV is built from translucent planes that partially reveal the colours, gestures and textures beneath them. Karen van de Vliet combines these fluid surfaces with areas of granular white paint, soft peach and lilac, vivid cobalt blue and a dark graphite form.

Fine vertical lines run through the composition, bringing rhythm and definition to materials that otherwise appear to flow beyond fixed boundaries. Some colours remain sharply visible, while others become softened or suspended beneath the translucent surface. The result is a tactile painting in which light becomes an active part of the composition.

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.
