Artist Statement
Katalin Macevics (Kate Matsevych) is an artist and illustrator based in London, UK. She grew up in Ukraine where she graduated from School of Fine Arts. Art has always been a passion of hers, since she was 2 years old, little Kate knew she wanted to be an artist.
Kate’s another big passion is traveling, discovering. She has visited more than 40 countries and lived in 7 of them. Traveling is one of her biggest inspirations. She loves to see new places, to feel new emotions, to experience new things. This is what makes her feel alive.
But what inspires her the most in her art is a woman. She devotes her artworks to the beauty of a female body, women in general. Katalin wants to convey wonderful aura, warmth and love that come from women. A woman is not just a mother, not just the soul of the family. A woman is a strong, smart, brave being, capable of achieving anything.
Also Kate likes the simplicity in the things that surround her, the simplicity in the interiors and you can see this simplicity in her works as well. When she does illustrations she prefers to do it with lots of details, but in canvases she decides to leave more space, more air, more freedom.
It is a pity that in our world women are underestimated, only a small part of them is recognized. For example, the 2019 statistics for artists says: “Despite talk of progress, just 11% of all acquisitions and 14% of exhibitions have been of work by women” Katalin Macevics would like to change that.
“I made my pieces with love, with love to all our women all over the world, and to our nature and Mother Earth ❤️”
