In the Studio with Kat Leimner

I am an abstract artist and painter from Berlin, living in Valencia, Spain. Art has been a big part of my life since I was little. My Dad used to sew his own pants and my grandfather was a guitarist in a popular band in eastern Germany. From early ages I sang in a choir and played the guitar and piano, danced ballet, modern jazz and even became a yoga instructor. In my years of art school in Berlin (Fashion and Design) I started expressing my artistic soul in different ways. 

Studio

Most of my creation happens in my art studio in Valencia. It is not only my art studio but will soon be officially opened as a gallery as well. While I am working as a full-time UXUI Designer I spent most of my free time in the atelier where I can unplug from the real world burst into creativity without following any specific set of rules.   

New artworks

My newest two pieces “Greece” are strongly influenced by a time in Greece. I spent some time in Paros, after taking the ferry from Athens. I was fascinated by the beauty of the surroundings, the clear blue sea and the characteristics of the island.  

“Flying melted candy” is an homage to the beauty of traveling in 2022. While I call Valencia my home this summer I am barely there, enjoying many occasions of freedom while traveling through Europe and collecting very sweetest memories with special beloved people! This piece is the largest in width I have painted so far. Its size is 200x75cm. 

Inspirations 

Today my emotions are my greatest inspiration. They lead me to create very intuitively with a strong influence of my years in Berlin chaos, the history of a separated Germany and the sweetness of living by the sea in Spain of today. My emotions speak through my art. My paintings are mostly joyful and happy, full of positivity, honesty and love. I am telling my story through the canvas and hopefully make people’s wall look pretty.
