Katerina Louka

Katerina Louka is a contemporary abstract artist from Greece. She studied economics but her love for art turned her in other directions. Her works are the mirror of her soul and her emotional world! All artworks are handmade originals, created at her studio! She mainly uses acrylic colors and mixed media! She likes to add texture and materials like sand, acrylic paste, creating complex textures that reflect the emotional depth of life. By exploring different painting media and skillfully playing with acrylic paints and combined techniques, we come across a voluminousness and which is actually an active part of her inner being.

Her works will be mostly a physical philosophical and psychological approach because the artist is actually a complex subject in the observational sense. Observing her abstractions or abstract compositions, we still have to penetrate into the most beautiful parts of her soul, because an artist is not born just like that. Katerina Louka enters various gallery spaces with her paintings and she wants to offer her painterly soul, a magical narrative that arose as if from sea foam to the audience for enjoyment. In her paintings with very symbolic names, we will discover what psychologically triggers storms in the soul of the artist, and what else explicitly leads to deep inner peace.

The beauty of light and the beauty of darkness alternate in the paintings of this artist, with which she persistently tries to show us her abstract meaning within the compositions she offers us as a gift.

The artist reveals her elegance as primary as well as the desire to reach the necessary peace under the many shades of the canopy of colors with the chosen colors. In the sets of these colors with which the artist asks us to reach a higher meaning, even metaphysically.

Her colors seek to be noticed, loved, shaped so that it is impossible to forget them, because they play with the terms death and eros, dream and strange reality, where the border is almost imperceptible in its beauty and phantasmagoricity.
