I am so excited to be one of the first 7 artists, who get the opportunity to work at the new studio space of the Südtiroler Künstlerbund in Bolzano.
From April onwards you can find me at ‘SKB Ateliers’ in Weggenstein Straße 12.

Osterzeichnung - Art Symposium in Austria
Since drawing is an important part of my art practice, I was especially excited to have been invited to take part in the art symposium “Osterzeichnung”in the castle of Puchheim in Austria.
The symposium is organized by Peter Assmann, who brings together international artists who share a passion for contemporary drawing.
For six days we create, draw, share, eat, drink, laugh and talk together. As an artist, I cherish these moments so much.
Celebrating Women’s Day with art
I am honored to have been invited to exhibit my art as part of the International Women’s Day celebration organized by the spouse of the Ambassador of Poland, Dr. Monika Dmochowska and the Embassy of Poland in Bangkok, Thailand.
For this occasion I prepared a series of small paintings showing different scenes from Poland in a fun and playful way.
I am happy I was able to contribute and not only present Poland through the eyes of an artist, but also share some colour, joy and positivity through my artwork.
Three paintings chosen for the “art library” of South Tyrol
Three of my paintings from the series Reisende Willkommen have been chosen for the Artoteca of South Tyrol.
I’m very happy to be part of this project, which gives institutions, as well as private people, the chance to enjoy and experience the art of different local artists in their own four walls.
To find out more, and to see how you could get the chance to hang these three colourful paintings at your home, workplace or school, then click on this link: ARTOTECA CATALOGO
Farewell 2023! What a year it was!
Thank you 2023 for treating me well and for providing me with so many amazing moments!
It was a very busy, challenging and exhausting year. But at the same time, it was a year of new opportunities, new encounters and new experiences.
It was a year of learning- I was lucky to have the opportunity to work with Lois Anvidalfarei, Walter Moroder and Sevda Chkoutova during the summer academy in Gröden, South Tyrol, Italy, as well as alongside international artists at the euartnetwork art symposium in Rust, Austria.
It was a year of group exhibitions- I took part in the “Kulturmeile” in Gufidaun, Italy, “Querschnitte” in Bayreuth, Germany and the exhibition for female artists “Kobieca Strona Sztuki” in Warsaw Poland curated by Iza Rogala at Defabryka.
I was also invited by the curators Hannes Egger and Stefanie Prieth to take part in the Via Illuminativa in Brixen, Italy alongside artists like Yoko Ono or Valie Export. A special and important exhibition of 13 artists on the topic of peace in the town, where I live.
And it was a year of solo exhibitions- I collaborated with MG Decoration by Maya Gruber for Bolzano Art Weeks and together we created a beautiful and sensual exhibitions of flowers and figurative art.
But the highlight of this year for me was my solo exhibition Piece/Peace at InParadiso Gallery in Venice. I was selected by Concilio Europeo dell’Arte to exhibit my project at the prestigious and historic gallery in the Giardini della Biennale in Venice.
I am so grateful for everything I experienced this year. Thank you to everyone for your support, thank you for liking and commenting on my posts online, thank you for coming to my exhibitions, thank you for taking my art home, thank you for exhibiting my art, thank you for listening to what my art has to say, thank you for helping me grow artistically, thank you for believing in me, encouraging me and showing me so much love.
Thank you, it means the world!
See you next year, there’s lots more to come!
Wishing you all health, happiness, love, smiles and peace…and don’t forget to add some creativity to your life!
Karolina Gacke - The Path to Peace on Südtirol Magazin - RAI Sender Bozen
My work "The Path to Peace" on TV
Recently the RAI Sender Bozen came for a visit. I got the chance to show where and how I create, and to explain the process behind my work “The path to peace”, currently on show as part of the Via Illuminativa in Brixen, South Tyrol.
The five-minute clip was part of the popular programme “Südtirol Magazin” on RAI.
I feel grateful to have been invited to show my project PIECE-PEACE on TV and to be able to spread the message of peace through my art.
