Catarina is a creator. From doing art, design, sketching or simply cooking for family and friends.
Her background in Architecture and Design has affected her way of seeing and doing Art. Catarina is a natural beauty seeker.  

Catarina finds her most inspiration in the whiteness. Using and playing with light as a material to generate shadows, playing with gold leaf to reflect the light, to create beauty and subtlety. Her work is both simple, yet complex. A result of Catarina's explorations and way of looking and questioning what surrounds her. 

Catarina believes art should be for everyone, and so she likes working with interior designers on request,  direct sale with private clients or art galleries.
