Katja van Strijk was born 1973 in Zofingen, Switzerland. After studying at the Translation School in Zürich and several stages abroad, she never stopped developping her artist style and carreer as a painter.

 

The artworks of Katja van Strijk are full of matter, rich and elaborated, showing exquisite combinations of colours carrying through one always present texture, with she harmonizes with drawing. Her painting are showing us an open dialogue, a wide range of possibilities.
