Biography

   I was born, live and create in Tver. My name is Ekaterina (pseudonym Katarina Love) for many years I worked as a sand and light show artist at weddings and anniversaries, this was due to the fact that the IPCC Institute (specialty decorative and applied arts) focused on socio-cultural activities, and this gave way to participation in events, which later formed the basis of my profession. 2.5 years ago, we can say I said goodbye to the profession and began to go in the direction of art, as it was necessary to take time for art somewhere and sacrifice something. The profession was bread and butter, and I even managed to get an award in Beijing at the contest "The 2nd Silk Road & Young Dreams", among 70 contestants (the sphere of sand animation), but this did not make me completely free visually and technically. I want to make my art understandable to people (not just the institutional audience) both conceptually and visually, so that it would be expressive and poignant, sometimes grotesque. The leitmotif of my art is the analysis of human nature, States, relationships, searches, changes, experiences. I believe that if a person has a gift, it is to give. To give in my case is to dedicate it to the souls of people.

Artist Statement

     The General message is the study of the human essence, the soul and its searches, experiments, mistakes. By understanding yourself and society. Man and his soul are integral. he artist shows the meaning of a person's search for self, vocation, love, God, mission, or the absence of these meanings in his works.

     Form of expression - modular (not standard-shaped patterns) canvases, installations, sculptures, media objects, interdisciplinary practices, experiments.

    Technique – the artist chooses transparent materials (thermoplastics, glass, resin, pet) as a symbol of the transcendence of the human soul. The artist integrates painting into his objects in different ways (print, collage, original painting). Painting and object are inseparable for the artist. Painting translates the visual experiences of the artist, and the material animates the object, giving it three-dimensionality.

    Method of expression - the artist creates some sort of allegory, metaphor, conceptual symbolism, and the grotesque. These methods allow you to show binary meanings, unravel connections, and give answers to both the artist and the viewer. Grotesque hyperbolizes reality, exaggerates the visual part.
