Catharina Plate

I have always been a rather introverted person with many thoughts in my head and feelings in my heart. Art, and especially painting, has always given me this sense of peace, as it is a wonderful medium to express all these intangible realities. That's why I like to paint mixed media and abstract, sometimes more expressionistic, sometimes more minimalistic. After my germany abitur in Fine Arts, I taught myself how to paint by learning from other artists, trying out a lot and practicing my own style. I love the therapeutic and stress relieving effect of art and creative things. Yet not only creating, but also consuming art and sharing it with others can be quite powerful. In my belief, everyone is an artist and should be open & bold enough to find their own style to create wonderful things. It gives us the opportunity to understand, express and communicate with the world around us. With my art I want to combine not only color contrasts but also the contrast of deep emotions and stabilizing focus. I stand for a life full of love - free from conditions and social conventions.
