Kat Garstka (born 1977) - artist with dual Czech-Polish citizenship, painter and motion designer who also creates in digital space and VR (virtual reality). Her life and work are stretched between Warsaw and Ostrava, and this geographical duality and borderlines also become the theme and context of her art. The artist's style combines traditional painting with the latest animation techniques. Kat Garstka often uses the medieval technique of painting with glazes, but with the use of modern dyes. It draws from the tradition of classical portrait and landscape painting, but deepens it with a psychological hypothesis, as a result of which the portrait becomes in fact a manifestation of the dreams, dreams and fantasies of the painted figures. The protagonists of her paintings are mostly women subjected to painterly psychoanalysis, who together create a convincing herstory narrative. The abstract structure and surreal landscape merge with the figure, creating non-obvious clues for its interpretation. All this to reach the essence of personality.
