About me

Kateryna Solodka, a contemporary painter born in Ukraine and currently living and working in the Netherlands, is known for her exquisite floral abstract artworks. Graduating from the Academy of Decorative and Applied Arts in Kyiv in 2012, Solodka found her passion for abstract art, viewing it as a realm of boundless creativity, brimming with vibrant colors and blossoms.

Flowers and beautiful gardens serve as the primary subjects of Solodka's work, inspired by their unparalleled aesthetic allure. For her, few things rival the beauty of flowers and their kaleidoscopic hues. Employing her original painting technique, Solodka employs a palette knife to create texture and volume, while expressive splatter strokes infuse her pieces with a sense of movement and vitality. Rather than merely depicting flowers, Solodka strives to evoke the essence and emotion of her subjects, aiming to capture the very fragrance of flowers on canvas.

Drawing inspiration from the emotions and impressions stirred by the natural world, Solodka translates these experiences into expressive colors on her canvases. In her view, art holds significant importance in tumultuous times, offering solace and aesthetic pleasure to those who encounter it. With a desire to spread beauty and joy, Solodka shares her blooming paintings with the world, infusing lives with vibrant colors and vitality.

Solodka finds immense joy in painting large canvases, where she can dynamically convey expression, play with light and depth, and evoke the mood of her compositions through bold brushstrokes and sweeping movements. Through her art, Kateryna Solodka invites viewers to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature and experience the transformative power of art.
