ABOUT her
Katiyana is an artist whose work blends abstract and figurative forms, with a strong focus on faces and the human figure. Using oil, acrylic, and plaster, she creates bold, textured pieces that explore themes of identity, belonging, and transformations.
Her art is driven by a deep and personal search for self, shaped by a life marked by constant movement and change. Katiyana’s work asks the lingering question, “Who Am I?”, and reflects on the feeling of foreignness not only in new places, but even within familiar ones - like her birthplace in Europe.
As a woman, Katiyana also navigates the experience of discovering her place in the world, both empowered by and reckoning with the consequences of being seen through the lens of beauty and femininity.
Through bold textures, and emotive forms, her art invites viewers into a deeply personal journey of self-discovery, transformation, and the layered experience of womanhood.
