Katerina Stavrou is a contemporary artist that married two techniques in order to adopt her own: Figurative Abstract Expressionism. Her wish is to create an event within her work that invites the viewers to travel with their imagination inside the pictures. Her paintings at first give the impression of colours exploding with the intense movement of her brush strokes. Following this is the suggestion of figures emerging from the atmospheric event embraced in her paintings. Katerinas’ desire is to generate an open-ended debate with the observer who is asked to wrestle the imagery from the dynamic physicality of the paintings’ surface, which in turn articulates something of the personal struggle of the artist through the procedure of creation.
