CV
Katinka Hajas
contemporary artist
"The transformations and fundamental properties of substances, whether insignificant or drastic, are closely linked to the changes in the inner ‘altitude’ of humans. Through external and internal observations, a dialogue emerges between the two worlds, which mutually shapes each other and the work in progress. This dialogue is a bridge for me that finely balances between these two worlds, yet provides a crossing point that allows a new unity to be realised, which reduces the distance between humans and their environment.
In my work, In order to present their unity and to observe them, I aim to capture the essence of these experiences in the most minimalist form, without regard to genres or forms."
