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.
