ANNA K ART
530 West 25th Street, New York, NY
Katja van den Bogaert creates intricate narratives that lie beneath the surface of her work, inviting viewers into a realm where secrets and revelations intertwine. Central to van den Bogaert’s philosophy is the belief in the interconnectedness of our internal and external worlds, empowering individuals to shape their own realities. Her creative odyssey unfolds on canvas, a visual chronicle of her inner landscape, where impressions, emotions, thoughts, and dreams converge.
Drawing inspiration from the natural world and the fluidity of water, van den Bogaert endeavors to forge a profound communion with nature, extending this communion to her audience. Working on linen canvas with acrylic paint, she initiates her process alla prima, employing brushes, rollers, and sponges to construct layers of meaning and texture. Each stroke and gesture contributes to a rich tapestry of hues and forms, reflecting the depth of her introspection.
Van den Bogaert’s artistic journey is characterized by intuitive exploration, unencumbered by conscious restraint, “I see my paintings as a mirror of my journey, a testament to the connection between our inner worlds and external realities. Through my art, I aim to engage viewers on a visceral level, eliciting a profound emotional response.”
