Andrea Katona

Born in 1976 2nd of August,  in Satu Mare, a city located in the west of Romania, Andrea Katona is the youngest out of four children of Luiza and József Katona.
Andrea showed her love for arts since childhood. Her wish was to go to an art high school in Baia Mare, though it didn't happen.
Andrea Katona pursued her dream in her fourth year at at Engineering University when she registered in the Aurel Pop School of Arts from Satu Mare.
Andrea studied arts for three years,  with Sodorai Parádi Hajnalka and Abkorovits Robert as teachers and mentors.
During these years, Andrea  took part in different national graphics and painting competitions .


Andrea is passionate about graphic design, so , for her,it was a challenge to go into the world of colours.  Andrea steped up and started being attracted by the oil paintings.
  In 2015 she became a member in the Artist Association in Satu Mare, where she participated in numerous collective exhibits  , from Satu Mare,  Cardiff, Cluj and Debrecen in Hungary


She was an active member of the association until 2018, when she moved to a different city.
   In 2019, Andrea Katona relocated to Cluj Napoca, where she is continuing her art activity, with new forces and lots of enthusiasm.
