Katerina Gordeeva is a Ukrainian-born contemporary artist based in Cancún, Mexico.
 

Guided by the interplay of inner landscapes and outer impressions, her work creates space for subtle connections - between self and surroundings, solitude and togetherness - inviting sincerity and vulnerability to surface.

Her current art practice stands apart as a deeply personal journey, dedicated to presence, color, and the raw vitality of the creative process. It is less about control or perfection than about allowing intuition, spontaneity, and discovery to guide the work.
Through painting, she explores the living dialogue within herself and with her surroundings, memories, emotions, and materials. Every step - from the first spark of an idea, through layering and mark-making, to the quiet contemplation of the drying surface - becomes a meditation, a transformation, and a medium of its own.

With a degree in Art and Graphic Design and two decades of professional experience in illustration and concept art, her background provides a solid foundation - but her current work follows its own path, shaped by authenticity and a search for meaning beyond mere imagery.

Inspired by minimalism, expressionism, and various modern movements, she keeps her process open to experimentation. Her current focus on silk is both intuitive and symbolic, as she explores contemporary approaches to this delicate and responsive surface. For her, silk becomes a metaphor for vulnerability: layers of color remain transparent and alive, preserving traces of the process while continuing to shift under external influence. Working with such a fragile, challenging surface requires openness, allowing each mark to reflect both experimentation and presence.

Beyond visual presence, her work seeks to evoke quiet emotions and personal resonance. Each piece becomes an offering - a space to pause, reflect, and find meaning in color and form.
