ABOUT THE ARTIST:
The Artist’s Edge
Katarina’s unique vision was forged during a three-year sailing expedition across the Americas. There, she discovered a "mathematical perfection" within the wild rhythms of the sea and wind. Her work is a masterful coexistence of logical structure and spontaneous, gestural brushwork.
Why Collectors Invest
We represent a significant collection of Katarina’s work because of its high demand among international collectors and luxury designers.
Global Presence: Her pieces anchor prestigious private collections in Luxembourg, Copenhagen, Palm Springs, and London.
Architectural Impact: Known for their "kinetic energy" and large-scale presence, these paintings are the ideal focal points for minimalist penthouses or coastal estates.
Sophisticated Palette: From deep terracottas to ethereal ceruleans, her work bridges the gap between the organic and the industrial.
About the Artist
Biography: Katarina Joys (b. 1952) is a contemporary artist based in London. Her practice is deeply rooted in her academic background in Algebra and Geometry, which she studied in Munich. This foundation informs the underlying logic and "numbers" that move her paintings.
Following her studies, Katarina spent three years sailing to remote islands in North and South America. This journey was dedicated to searching for new geometric forms in both cold and hot climates, seeking to reconcile mathematical structure with the organic spontaneity of nature.
The "Living Art" Philosophy: Katarina works at the intersection of fine art and high-end architectural design. Rather than following the traditional gallery circuit, she operates within a "closed-market ecosystem," focusing on bespoke, site-specific commissions for prestigious properties in London, Dubai, and the United States.

4. Artistic Philosophy
