Karina Azaretzky was born in Tucumán, Argentina in 1981, and she has been living in Buenos Aires since 2012.
She holds a degree in Fine Arts from The National University in Tucumán.
Her photographs are an exploration of the always changing relationship between man and nature.
In 2010 she travelled to London, on a grant sponsored by the British Council, to take part in a photographers interchange between the UK and Argentina.
Her work has been shown in numerous solo and collective exhibitions since 1999, and can be found in private and public collections.
