MY JOURNEY

Over the last thirty years, my work developed first through painting. At the same time, I continuously observed the dynamics of the international art market. From this combination of artistic practice and observation, I have now begun to reflect on these experiences in writing.

After my art studies in Dresden and my degree in marketing research, I refined my artistic practice. Starting from the haptic discipline of studying nature, I developed my own technique, which I call KATHAs Cutting Art, forming the foundation of my personal visual language.

For almost twenty years I have lived in Dubai, where I witnessed the coordinated transformation of a country from a developing environment into a high-tech metropolis. This transformation also reshaped the international art market, which expanded structurally and repositioned itself globally during this period. For my artistic work, I was granted a Golden Visa for Artists in the United Arab Emirates.

My work therefore moves between artistic practice, market observation and analytical reflection. Painting and writing function as two connected forms through which I examine perception, structure and transformation within the context of art.

WORK

Artist & Author

Artists provide professional services within the field of art, extended to include consulting, commissioned works, exhibitions, as well as market participation and representation by galleries, museums, and institutions. This activity constitutes an independent professional sector whose market value is increasingly shaped by investors and economic exploitation.

I already knew at the age of two that I possessed an artistic talent. When I later tried to distance myself from art, my mother gave me a defining piece of advice: “Katharina, if you do not want art, then your life itself must be art.”

Through my independent career and the worldwide sale of my works, I have developed a solid understanding of art collectors in the luxury segment and strategically align the direction of CABINET ART AFFAIRS specifically toward this target group.
