''Carolanne was one of the first entrepreneurs to approach me for my illustration and design services. I had the chance to step out of my comfort zone by creating colorful and flamboyant visuals for Kawelä. Our mutual love for days at the beach will have clearly contributed to the result of this great collaboration.''

''Working for Caro was a godsend!
She is sweet, motivated and very professional! Above all, she respects and values artists very much, she welcomes ideas and leaves a lot of freedom to creativity and imagination!
I couldn't have dreamed of a better first freelance contract. My door will always be open for new adventures with Kawelä.
Thank you for your trust!''

Karina Marcil is the multidisciplinary artist hiding behind Rinartz. Being passionate about all kinds of art, her studies in interior design have awakened an artistic approach that puts forward digital art to illustrate the concept of her spaces. Rinartz was then born out of a desire to capture beautiful moments and to offer, as a result, a personalized illustration service. The project then drifted towards a unique visual identity. Plants, women and settings remain great influences for her creations through a living language translated from layers and overlays.
''Being one of my first contracts in illustration, it must be said that the collaboration with Carolanne and her company Kawelä was a very beautiful and great challenge. Having worked on a rather realistic project departing from my usual style, I found myself falling in love with the new techniques acquired during my explorations and feeling a feeling of valorization following this beautiful enriching experience. I am grateful to be able to be part of the great Kawelä family!''
