bio
KATARINA VASICKOVA


was born in Nitra, Slovakia in 1981, where she graduated from the Secondary School of Civil Engineering.

Katarina constantly hones her artistic skills by collaborating with other professional artists and by attending art seminars. Her personal mentor is the academic painter and graphic artist Vratislav Sevcik, who taught her engraving.

A multifaceted artist, she is at ease with any project she tackles, the more challenging the better - whether her canvas is a small rock or a large wall on which she paints her lively, vividly colored murals.

"Creating art is what I wake up for," says Katarina. Even when employing a myriad of styles, forms and materials, the quintessential essence of "Katarina" is always present in her art.

Her work can be found in private collections as well as in embassies, schools, companies (offices), bars and restaurants.

She has participated in many art festivals such as The Fringe Festival in Athens, various UNESCO exhibitions, graphic art exhibition in Italy, Ukraine, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Germany, Greece (Michalis Cacoyiannis Foundation in Athens) and in the embassies of Slovakia and the Czech Republic in Athens, Greece. As an active UNESCO member, she takes interest in art activities for children.

Katarina has also taken part in various group exhibitions and has done three successful one-man shows at Parnassos Literary Society, Grecotel Pallas Athena and Winepoint in Athens.

She has been living and working in Athens, Greece since 2002.
