Katarina Joys
Artistic Philosophy & Background
Katarina’s practice is rooted in a unique blend of mathematics and nature. Academic Foundation: She studied Algebra and Geometry in Munich, a background that informs the underlying logic and "coexistence of rhythms" found in her paintings. The Spontaneity of Nature: Following her studies, she spent three years sailing to remote islands in South America and North America. This period was dedicated to searching for geometric forms in diverse climates, aiming to bridge mathematical perfection with the spontaneous world. Aesthetic Style: Her work is defined by its mastery of texture and depth, often utilizing large-scale canvases. She works with oil and acrylic to create emotive, layered compositions that explore themes like emergence, transformation, and natural phenomena. Professional Reach & Market Katarina has established a niche at the intersection of fine art and high-end interior design, specifically: Bespoke Commissions: She is known for creating site-specific collections that respond to the light and scale of prestigious architectural spaces. Global Presence: Her works are held in private collections across London, New York, Milan, Luxembourg, Copenhagen, Palm Springs, Australia, and Germany. Market Exclusivity: By focusing on private dialogues with collectors and designers rather than mass public exhibitions, her work has become a hallmark of discretion and taste within a closed-market ecosystem.
