Katarina Duedal

Katarina draws (female) life and creates smiles and recognition. Her works reflect situations we know and can relate to. With a humorous look, she looks straight into situations and relationships where we see ourselves or those we care about. She uses her pictures to tell stories about the different facets of life, the innocence of childhood and her role as mother, friend, daughter and woman. She pays tribute to caregivers (men as well as women), the personal struggles, the break from commitments.

With immense humor, she illustrates your inner tour-de-france rider plowing down the cycle path with the basket full of groceries, swimming trips with girlfriends and the attempt to allow our bodies to be as they are (even if something might hang a little) yes maybe even like it.

Katarina spends her days at the workshop in Bagsværd, which she calls her sanctuary. Here she lets her thoughts flow freely and creates art that reflects feelings and impressions from the outside world. Ideas and creative thoughts manifest as small glimpses in everyday life and she is passionate about turning these moments into unique and meaningful drawings. Katarinan turns both traditional materials such as colored pencils and ink to create nuances and depth. At the same time, she also uses digital media and photography to expand the framework for her expression. She draws and mixes photos and graphics on her iPad, so we see places we know with visits from her people from her imagination.

Katarina's art reminds us that we are human and makes us smile at small and big moments.
