About the Item
DESCRIPTION:
A luminous, fluid abstract painting inspired by the movement of water and layered natural rhythms—rich in texture, motion, and color. A statement piece for discerning collectors.
“Water flowers” is a sophisticated, large-scale abstract painting that evokes the fluid motion of water, the shifting of light, and the layered rhythms of nature. The composition unfolds in sweeping gestures of turquoise, cerulean blue, jade green, sienna, and soft coral, interwoven with translucent white strokes that create a sense of depth, movement, and atmospheric luminosity.
The work has a dynamic, almost tidal energy—waves of color drift, collide, and dissolve into each other, forming a mesmerizing visual field that shifts as the viewer moves. Its layered textures and rhythmic marks suggest both microscopic detail and vast landscapes, making it equally compelling from up close or across a room.
This piece is ideal for collectors who seek contemporary abstract artworks that balance emotional resonance with refined technique. It brings serenity, motion, and complexity to modern interiors, from luxury residences to curated professional spaces.
This large abstract painting for sale — a contemporary mixed-media artwork featuring layered turquoise, blue, green, coral, and earthy tones with fluid, wave-like motion. This original abstract wall art includes textural brushwork and organic flowing patterns reminiscent of water, currents, and natural energy fields.

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.

Katarina Joys: Where Mathematical Precision Meets the Pulse of Nature
In the world of contemporary fine art, few creators bridge the gap between rigorous logic and organic soul as masterfully as Katarina Joys (b. 1952). Based in the heart of London, Katarina has spent decades developing a visual language that doesn’t just decorate a space—it defines it.
The Foundation of Form
Katarina’s work is born from the elegant world of Algebra and Geometry, which she studied extensively in Munich. This academic rigor provides the "hidden numbers" and underlying logic that move her brush. However, her art found its spirit far from the classroom. Following her studies, Katarina spent three years sailing to the remote islands of North and South America. In the contrast between frozen northern horizons and lush tropical heat, she sought a reconciliation between mathematical structure and the untamed spontaneity of the natural world.
The "Living Art" Philosophy
Katarina operates outside the traditional gallery circuit, preferring a "closed-market ecosystem" that prioritizes exclusivity and personal connection. Her practice sits at the prestigious intersection of fine art and high-end architectural design. From London to Dubai and across the United States, her work is sought after by private collectors and real estate designers who view art as a fundamental component of a property’s identity.
The Portfolio: A Study in Scale and Rhythm
Her portfolio is a testament to the "Kinetic Awakening"—the moment a static canvas begins to breathe:
Large-Scale Masterpieces: XXL oil and acrylic works such as Sunrise on the Beach in Italy, Honey Flowers, and the rhythmic Flamenco are designed to anchor grand architectural spaces.
Geometric Nature: Explorations into the Coexistence of Rhythms, where mathematical precision meets the fluid transformation of natural phenomena.
Bespoke Commissions: A collaborative journey between artist and collector, ensuring every stroke of the palette knife resonates with the specific energy of its final environment.
An Exclusive Dialogue
To own a piece by Katarina Joys is to invest in a philosophy of emergence and transformation. Utilizing a mastery of texture and depth through layered acrylics and oils, Katarina ensures that each piece remains an original dialogue. These are not mass-produced decorations; they are site-specific legacies.
"My work is about the search for new forms—the point where the logic of geometry meets the heartbeat of the earth." — Katarina Joys

"Restless Sea, " Contemporary Abstract Painting
By Teodora Guererra
Located in Westport, CT
This contemporary abstract statement painting by Teodora Guererra is made with acrylic and oil paint on canvas. It features a coastal palette, with layers of paint applied in wide, sweeping gestures, layering varying shades of blue over one another. The painting is signed by the artist on the back of the canvas, and is wired and ready to hang.
Teodora Guererra’s abstract artistic vision has evolved throughout her years spent painting and teaching in Fairfield County, Connecticut; Tucson, Arizona, and upstate New York. Arizona’s naturally radiant landscape and arid climate led her to experiment with rich under-painting and vivid color; while the shifting seasons of the East Coast inspired Guererra to pursue dripping and staining techniques. Her focus has always been pushing the limits through experimentation with new materials.
“As an artist, painting can be tormenting and sublime at the same time," the artist says of her work. "I'm a big risk taker, experimenting with different materials to layer, stain and saturate color on large canvases. My most successful work looks as if it happened all at once. It sometimes takes 7 or more paintings to produce a successful one and then it's a beautiful thing."
Guererra received her undergraduate and graduate Art degrees from Southern Connecticut University, The College of Saint Rose and Skidmore College. Guererra’s paintings can be found in public and private collections across the U.S., including the Allmen Health and Wellness Center for Women in New York and SUNY Brockport, NY, William & Sonoma, San Francisco, CA. Her influences are Pat Steir, John McCracken, Helen Frankenthaler, Donald Jud, Bernar Venet, Agnes Martin and Brian Rutenberg...
