A remarkably talented artist hailing from Slovakia, and having spent her creative formative years in the hub of Athens’ art community, Katarina Vasikova exemplifies the sublime influence of both cultures in her work. Whether in mixed media paintings or print work, her message never fails to resonate with the viewer.
