Karina Rikun (b. 1990, Kazakhstan) is a visual artist working at the intersection of sculpture, photography, and installation. With a background in environmental and international law, she later studied botanical science and medicinal plants at the École des Plantes in Paris. Her work explores the relationship between organic materials and objects, blending abstraction with symbolism.
