Katerina Stavrou

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.

Katerina is a graduate from Manchester School of Art 2011, in Fine Art. She has been represented and followed a mentoring program at Debut Contemporary platform based in Notting Hill London and an Art Criticism short course in Central Saint Martins College of Art, fall 2012.
