"The Predatory Look" Painting

Katerina is a professional artist working in surrealism and abstraction, pushing the boundaries of fantasy. She expertly uses a wide range of materials, including watercolor, acrylic, oil, gouache, pastel, charcoal, pencil and ink.

Her large works, mainly in acrylic or oil, are based on sketches where composition serves as the foundation of structure and meaning.

Her portraits, however, are spontaneous, fluid, dynamic, and emotional creations. Using watercolor and acrylic, Katerina captures raw moments in time—portraits that cannot be recreated, embodying the energy and emotions of the present. These works are intuitive, with pronounced composition, dynamics, color, halftones, lines, and textures, quivering like the breath of wind or the waves of the ocean.

She also devotes great attention to collages, creating both conceptual works and projects for the fashion, beauty, and advertising industries.

Music serves as a catalyst for Katerina’s inspiration, becoming part of her consciousness and informing her creative process. This connection allows her to explore themes related to nature, humanity, and the unknown.
In her work, the image of a woman plays a central role, representing life, struggle, tenderness, divinity, passion, harmony, and love. The female form is not just an object but a symbol of complexity, mystery, and strength. Nature, in its ever-changing yet timeless beauty, reflects life’s cycles and the laws of existence alongside these images.

She received a rigorous professional education, studying under top teachers for 11 years and graduating with honors from the Art Institute. Her education also included mastering three-dimensional materials—working with stone, clay, metal, plaster, and more to create sculptures, mosaics, and jewelry.

She further developed her skills as an interior designer, running her own studio and working on exclusive, high-end projects. She has participated in exhibitions, competitions, and vernissages, and her works are in private collections.

At the core of Katerina’s values is her deep respect for women and nature. She believes that until humanity fully appreciates these forces, life will lack meaning.
Her art serves as a reminder to stop, observe, and reconnect with these fundamental aspects of existence. She conveys that only by respecting nature and women can we preserve peace, harmony, and life itself.
