About Kat.

After graduating from the National School of Applied Arts in Graphic Design (in her hometown of Sofia, Bulgaria), Kat decided to leave her home in search of answers, inspiration, and to embark on the journey of self-discovery as a person and as an artist.

Seven years beyond the equator, her journey took her to Australia and then to New Zealand, where she currently has a studio, lives, and works as a self-representing artist.

About the work.

While examining her past projects, one can feel that she is in the early stages of her artistic career, marked by a spirit of experimentation.

Her art is strongly inspired by nature and our relationship with it. Most of her paintings are based on photographs she takes during her travels or even in her garden.

You can understand Kat’s work by looking at each series as a project on its own, delving into its unique concept and theme. What binds them together is their distinctive color palette and their ‘glowing‘ qualities. Through her paintings, Kat simultaneously explores the visible and invisible realms; how something looks and how it feels.

Why yellow?

“In my personal life, the colour yellow is a symbol of light, joy and hope. It’s strong, yet playful. I feel it resonates on my frequency and I use it as a carrier of that joyful energy I want my work to radiate.” - Kat
