Welcome to the captivating world of Katerina A. Cechova, world of cubistic creations, the power of form and symbols. Through her unique blend of traditional techniques and modern concepts, she invites you to embark on a journey of exploration, where imagination knows no bounds.

Born and raised in the Czech republic, Katerina’s artistic journey began at an early age. Surrounded by the rich cultural heritage of her homeland, she immersed herself in the study of various artistic disciplines, delving into the realms of painting, sculpture, and printmaking. It was during this time that she discovered her true calling — to create art that not only captivates the eye but also stirs the soul. Her inspiration is often leading to literature, symbolic and nature. Katerina is also a big dog’s lover, international judge for dogs conformations, what means many paintings are connected with dogs theme. She created many cubistic variations of dog breeds, which are the very first and unique.

Inspired by nature’s infinite beauty and the mysteries of human existence, Katerina’s work often explores themes of identity and spirituality. She believes that art has the power to transcend language and cultural barriers, serving as a universal language that unites individuals from all walks of life. Her aim is not simply to create aesthetically pleasing works but to evoke a visceral response in her audience — a sense of wonder, introspection, and inspiration.

Each piece tells a story, capturing fleeting moments frozen in time, inviting viewers to contemplate the passage of time and the fragility of existence.

Throughout her career, Katerina was rewarded by many prizes both in USA and worldwide. Her pieces have garnered critical acclaim and have found homes in private collections worldwide. She continues to push the boundaries of artistic expression, constantly experimenting with new techniques and concepts that challenge traditional notions of art.
