Artist Biography:
Katarina is a contemporary artist whose work resides at the intersection of fine art and high-end architectural design. Based on a philosophy of "living art," she has become the preferred choice for leading real estate designers seeking to anchor their most prestigious interiors in London, Dubai, and the United States.
Her practice is defined by its bespoke nature. Rather than producing for the traditional gallery circuit, Katarina works almost exclusively on a commission basis, creating site-specific collections that respond to the light, scale, and atmosphere of world-class properties. This collaborative approach ensures that each piece is not merely a decoration but a fundamental component of the home’s identity.
Known for her mastery of texture and depth, Katarina’s aesthetic is both emotive and disciplined. Her refusal to engage in mass public exhibitions has created a closed-market ecosystem, making her paintings a hallmark of discretion and taste. To own a piece by Katarina is to possess a work that was likely never intended for the public eye, but rather born from a private dialogue between the artist and the world’s most refined living spaces.

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
