Katarina Caserman (b. 1996) is a London-based artist originally from Slovenia. The challenge of representing nonmaterial matter is central to Caserman's artistic inquiry. The artist sees that for each existing object, it requires a particular type of material to facilitate its growth, and within this process, the artist seeks to give form to the intangible. She recognises that thoughts, memories, and time exist beyond the bounds of our perceptible reality, yet they remain integral components of our lives. Her work aims to materialise these abstract concepts by imbuing them with tangible characteristics such as colour, shape, and movement.
She obtained her MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art in 2022 and her BA in Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana. She was awarded a Ministry of Culture of Slovenia’s Scholarship for Promising Young Artists (2020).
