Katarína Kalmanová – Mixed media and abstract artist, Fine Art teacher and lecturer;
was born in Lučenec, Slovakia, based in Bratislava. She graduated from the Faculty of Education in Fine Arts, Univerzita Konštantína Filozofa in Nitra, Slovakia (1994-1999), later followed by studies at Terra Therapeutica Institute in Art Therapy. (2017-2019). Since 2011 she has been participating in group and solo art shows or Art Fairs in Europe and USA ( E.g. Rome, Milan/Italy, Lithuania, Czech and Slovak Republic, Miami, Minnesota/USA). Her paintings can be found in many private collections worldwide.
“Through my paintings, I capture life’s diverse and colourful palette.
Painting inspires me to look inside and unleash what is behind the story… a story that depicts everyday situations and the feelings that touched my soul.
Art provides me with a blank canvas to reconnect with my inner-self and intuitively express my observations through the creative process, with colour taking centre stage.
I love to experiment with layers and combine more techniques in each piece, using mainly acrylic and mixed media techniques that allow me to embark on an adventure that embraces freedom, exploration and play.”
Nowadays Katarína lives with her family in Bratislava and she is creating, teaching and lecturing in her studio in Old City of Bratislava. She loves to inspire, guide and help oters to discover and unleash their unique creative voice.
