CAT KARTAL



Graduated from the Ecole du Louvre (Paris) in art history and classical painting, trained in drawing and painting in the Ateliers de la ville de Paris, the Grande Chaumière (Montparnasse) and the Ateliers libres des Beaux-Arts, settled in Chamonix for a long time to answer the call of skiing, the mountains and nature. First as a photographer for the Ernoult Features agency, then as a graphic designer for Red Sun-Chamonix, and then very quickly as an artist-painter, because life is all about movement.

 
 


Today, I paint and exhibit my artwork mainly in the Chamonix region, in Haute-Savoie as well as in Geneva, and I have the pleasure of seeing them travel to distant countries where mountain lovers like to escape by immersing themselves in them.
Very touched by the pure and raw beauty of nature, my themes are essentially related to it, mountains, sea, ocean, desert. And often it is the human beings, very small and vulnerable facing the majesty of mother nature, that I place in symbiosis (or opposed?) to these great playgrounds.
Sometimes, I have a great desire for colors, fun and lightness, so I am playing with my street-popart or resin creations.
At the same time, I created "Chamonix Art School", a structure dedicated to educational transmission and sharing, for young and old, with an art & nature section.
