Carolin Okon, (b. 1973, Germany) 0049-163-8840448
As teenager she began to paint "secretly" her celebrities like Elvis or James Dean (in East Germany it was forbidden). This need became a passion, that is since 15 years profession. She has not only exhibitions in Europe, but also in the USA or Argentina.
Carolin Okon is forever on an artistically inspired quest for realistic alienation within a sheltered beauty.
