Dana Kathy

My name is Dana Kathy and I am the artist of Minifreakz.
I have been painting, drawing, sketching and creating since I was a small girl.
For me, art is a feeling of freedom and my biggest passion.
I was born 1992 in Germany but grew up on the beautiful Island Mallorca, Spain.
I enjoy traveling and exploring new countries and I had the big luck to grow up in a family that shares this passion.
When I was 8 years old - my family decided to move to Africa, an amazing experience that changed my life and has made me want to become an artist.
The spectacular colors and the wideness of this fascinating continent are also in the present, part of my inspiration.
Nowadays I am based in Germany, working as an independent freelance artist.

What does Minifreakz mean?
Minifreakz is the name I gave to my art, being a young girl. Small, strange comic characteres that i drew everywhere, mostly in my schoolbooks - therefore, the origin of the name.
Later on, my drawings became more and more details. I started creating pictures on other materials than paper and somehow i fell so in love with the name, that Minifreakz remained and turned into
Minifreakz Art Revolution - the beginning of something new.
What techniques do I use on my work?
Nothing is secure when i start to paint.
I love to mix up different materials to create something completely different. 
But even as an mixed-media artist, i have different constants in my works:
graffiti sprays, acrylics and markers are nearly in every of my works.
What inspires me?
That is a difficult question to answer.
If i think about it, actually strange things inspire me, but lets start with some "normal" inspirations, like for example: Music.
Music is an important constant companion in my art, i will hardly create something without music.
I also love light and the touch of different textures.
I feel and create with my fingers - that is why the sense of touch is a big part of my inspiration. Every artist has a philosophy...
