Karin Kellner
Illustrator · Watercolour Artist · Visual Storyteller Karin Kellner creates poetic, quietly powerful illustrations that invite pause. Born in Nuremberg and now based in Milan, her work bridges the softness of watercolour with the precision of digital finishing—often blending ink, pastels, and monotype textures into elegant, desaturated palettes.
