The title of this exhibition encourages the viewer to frame their experience of these works beyond the initial seductive of decoration and pattern. In existential thought, “human beings create their own values and determine a meaning for their life. By posing the acts that constitute him or her, he or she makes his or her existence more significant.” Through these works Catherina affirms an essential aspect of her ‘being’ the paintings act as both illustrations and valadiations of her existence. These paintings reflect and crystalise her thinking and nature, so in a sense they can be viewed as autobiographical, as vital a part of this artists existence as breathing.
For the viewer their colour, vibrance and complexity resonate with the richness and joy of life presenting a visual experience that is both instantly engaging and rewarding of careful inspection - they are above all intricate works of positive affirmation that exist to be reflected upon and enjoyed.
