Kateryna Zavadska

Ukrainian artist based in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany. I work in acrylic on canvas and paper, building abstract paintings through fast, gestural brushwork and layered mark-making — compositions that hold both physical energy and visual structure.
In my larger canvases, colour, movement and spontaneous decision-making are the primary subjects. In my recent series on paper — Quiet Horizon and Currents — the same gesture slows down into water, mist and open horizons: smaller, more atmospheric works about light.
Alongside this I paint expressive animal portraits — most often cats — where realism meets painterly freedom.
Works held in private collections in the USA, France, Italy and Germany. Exhibiting since 2013 in Ukraine and Germany.
