Art Observatory presents the Young Artist Katya Ovechkina
Delve into the captivating world of Katya Ovechkina, a young visual artist based in Vienna, as she navigates themes of personal experience, intimacy, and trauma through a diverse range of mediums.
Katya Ovechkina is a young Art Student and next on our List from the Class of Prof. Ursula Hübner from the Art University Linz which we invited to showcase her work and give us insights about her developments in Art.
Katya Ovechkina Artist Statement:
Katya Ovechkina's artistic practice delves into the depths of memory and fear, weaving together personal experiences of loss, abandonment, and grief.
Across various mediums such as painting, ceramics, photography, and installation, she explores the ever-changing nature of daily life and living situations, blurring boundaries and transforming fleeting moments into tangible objects.
With a passion for ceramics and glazing, Katya finds fascination in the unpredictable nature of the process, often experimenting with unconventional materials like cigarette ash.
Photography serves as a means of documentation and storytelling, as she combines personal photos with texts, building new narratives and connections.
