"Vibrant Waterlilies" Fine Art Print

My name is Katerina Ivanova, born on January 12, 1990. I am an IT engineer and artist and have been living in beautiful Munich since September 2018. I began painting at a young age and learned the basics of figurative art, landscape design, perspective, and color theory. Later, I turned to portraiture, which I enjoyed immensely, before increasingly shifting my focus to landscapes and nature. As a lover of Impressionism and Expressionism, I follow the 19th-century Impressionist style and enjoy the freedom to combine it with Expressionist color palettes. I also experiment with abstraction in large-format paintings to allow my creativity to flow freely.

My artistic training:
At the age of seven, I attended a private art school in Skopje, Macedonia, three times a week for three years. There, the diverse instruction in various fields allowed me to explore almost all media. Even today, I enjoy experimenting with different techniques, although my primary medium is oil—a focus I had already established in art school.
As the youngest member of an adult art school, I explored many artistic fields, but showed particular talent in portrait painting. Supported by my high school art teachers, I painted portraits of well-known poets in our country and gave them these works as gifts. I also won several city and regional art competitions.
I explore and paint daily, I personally think my paintings have a lot of soul in them, as I dedicate a lot of focus and attention in every piece I create.
