Katarína Sujová Kalmanová (1976) – Fine Art teacher and lecturer;
was born in Slovakia, residing in Bratislava. She graduated from the Faculty of Education in Fine Arts, Univerzita Konštantína Filozofa in Nitra, Slovakia.
In her professional career she has been concurrently working at the marketing field and developing her art language as well.
Nature is her often source of inspiration, as the parallel of her inner life. “I paint intuitively, the whole thing is more about enjoying the process than the result itself. The colour is the prior mean of expression in my works. I love to experiment with layers, combine more techniques in each piece of art and PLAY. Painting is the opportunity to look inside, reconnect with my inner-self… It is my adventure and meditation. I use mainly acrylic and mixed media technique which allow me to play and experiment alongside and enjoy the playful process.”
Her paintings can be found in many private collections worldwide.
Nowadays Katarina studies Art Therapy and lives with her husband, daughter and little son in Bratislava.
