Her paintings can be found in many private collections worldwide. “Through my paintings, I capture life’s diverse and colourful palette. Painting inspires me to look inside and unleash what is behind the story… a story that depicts everyday situations and the feelings that touched my soul. Nature is my often source of inspiration. Art provides me with a blank canvas to reconnect with my inner-self and intuitively express my observations through the creative process, with colour taking centre stage. I love to experiment with layers and combine more techniques in each piece, using mainly acrylic and mixed media techniques that allow me to embark on an adventure that embraces freedom, exploration and play.” Nowadays Katarína lives with her family in Bratislava.
