Katarina
Katarina Jovanović, born in Ljubovija, Serbia, in 1993, is a multidisciplinary artist. Her diverse artistic repertoire includes painting, interior design, digital art, poetry, scenography, theater, mural painting, and sculpture. Currently, she mostly expresses herself through fine arts, aiming to connect with an audience curious about exploring the current struggles of society for a better future.
Katarina's affinity for art began in early childhood, providing her with a means to freely share her unrestricted vision of the world. Her work revolves around issues concerning human rights, equality, the importance of nature, and various social, psychological, and existential aspects in society.
She pursued studies in interior design and industrial product studies at Belgrade's High School for Design and multimedia arts at Belgrade's School of Fine & Applied Arts. Additionally, she became part of the ecological avant-garde commune, led by Bozidar Mandic, renowned as the "Family of Clear Streams," during a seven-year tenure. This troupe, in existence since the 1970s, provided her with opportunities to perform and refine her craft in theaters across Serbia.
Katarina's artwork has been showcased at numerous group and solo exhibitions, such as "Behind the Shadows" at the Cultural Center "Ribnica" in Kraljevo, Serbia, in 2017, and the "Objectif Terre" Festival in Lausanne, Switzerland, in 2021, featuring a solo exhibition and interactive performance.
Featured in various events, including the audiovisual and scenographic field, such as "Chilicosta" in Lausanne, Switzerland (2021-2024), "Paleo Festival" in Nyon, Switzerland (2022-2023), "IntArtvencio" with Feminist Art Revolution in Martorell, Barcelona, Spain (2021), and "House22" in Geneva, Switzerland (2022), these events have provided her with a platform to showcase her artwork to a broader audience.
In recent years, Katarina Jovanovic has been living & working abroad as an independent freelance artist in Spain & Switzerland. These experiences have permitted her to further expand horizons both in an artistic & personal vein.
