Lead Artist

Body Painting L.A.’s award-winning, lead artist Karina Konupek has over thirty years of experience providing professional face and body art to high-profile clientele in Los Angeles.

“I have enjoyed creating art since I was a lil' girl, and I am grateful for a VERY long lineage of artisans. Having received my art degree from CSUN, I have a passion to constantly update my skills and artistic expression. As my 3 children, and my 2 nieces were growing up, I decided to use Face Painting and Body Artistry as a way to combine all the things I enjoy and need in my life.

“Now after thirty years+, I am proud to say that I have a reputation of being one of the most versatile artists around; the "Go- to Gal". I use my experience in the "industry" - from both in front of the camera and behind- to my advantage; from my knowledge and comfort of working with people of ALL ages, to my life as a performer, to my life as a Personal Assistant to one of the TOP celebrities of our time (Gene Kelly). I understand and respect the requirements of all the "players" for an event to work well, enjoyably and professionally. I so appreciate and am truly honored by the hundreds of productions and thousands of private clients that have entrusted me and my recommendations throughout the years.” - Karina Konpek
