A Czech artist based in Prague, who previously created under her pseudonym “Bykat”, expresses herself mainly through action painting, which is a highly dynamic kind of art. She loves to experiment with mixed media, creating collages and abstract art by using different materials and media. Finding the way of transforming old, recycled, and reused objects into amazing pieces of contemporary art is another way of expressing myself.

She loves to spread love, happiness and awareness and to do things differently. She is kind of an inventor who needs to discover a lot to be able to create. Standard business models just doesn’t work for her. She needs to make constant progress, constantly connect it with something. Constantly develop something. She doesn’t like to be tied to one style, but the common themes are colors, abstractions, experiments, and combining different techniques. She loves photography, dance, music, art, video shooting, acting, discovering, etc.
Katerina loves learning and discovering new methods, things, new people. She is all about collecting experiences.
She makes art because she believes it is the most effective way to express the deepest parts of the human soul. Art speaks what words can not.
Another reason is that it gives her pleasure. The literal act of dipping a brush or my fingers into rich scoops of color and the sound and feel of spreading them across the canvas are for her one of life’s sensual pleasures.
Her artwork is influenced by Abstract Expressionism, Surrealism, and Dadaism. She is interested in the connection between creativity and subconsciousness. The creativity that came from deep within a person’s subconscious could be more powerful and authentic than any product of conscious thought.
