Szajko's Katharsis
Navigating Art as a Gateway
She has exhibited in London (Holy Art Gallery, 2024), Budapest (Golden Duck Gallery, 2024), and Gravesend (local art centers). Upcoming exhibitions include CICA Museum, Seoul (2025) and Art Number 23 Galleries, Tokyo (2026). She holds a BA and MA in Fine Art from the University of East London.
Her process begins with fire, allowing the captivating flames to create organic patterns before applying her materials.
Katarina is a Carpathian Artist exploring the SELF through intrinsic, holistic methods using materials such as oils, chalks and pencils, sparys. She creates artworks that bridge the physical and spiritual realms.
The creative process is grounded in intrinsic holistic methods, where art is not only a visual expression but also a reflection of the mind, body, and spirit. This approach begins with a deep connection to personal energy and intention, allowing each piece to emerge from within, intuitively guided by emotional and spiritual depth. The use of fire as a transformative element, alongside automatic drawing techniques, serves as a ritualistic process that transcends traditional techniques, seeking to evoke a transformative, healing experience for both the artist and the viewer. In this practice, art is more than creation—it's a journey of self-discovery, connection, and energy exchange.

I met Kata in connection with my own photography work, when I saw her pictures exhibited in a local art gallery and I asked for her help preparing for my first exhibition. Her intuitive view and art studies were crucial to choose the appropriate photographs from my work. Her paintings inspire me taking pictures in different ways as well.Kasia
Katarina has shown remarkable dedication and expertise in art education. Her innovative teaching methods inspire creativity and foster a nurturing classroom environment. I highly recommend her for any role that seeks a passionate and effective art teacher.Linda
Katarina is very accommodating and happy to work with any media and whatever our goals are. She is very encouraging of our attempts so we're not afraid to experiment and make mistakes as part of the learning process as beginners.
I hope you enjoyed my work. Any feedback will be much appreciated :)
