Katerina Larsen is a contemporary figurative painter whose work explores the feminine psyche - where image and intimacy meet, and the self becomes both mirror and myth.

Working primarily in oil, she paints women suspended between the real and the cinematic - still, luminous, quietly electric. Her work traces the tension between presence and performance, and the space between what is seen and what is felt.

With a background in award-winning film direction and as founder of Catch The Bird, Larsen brings a cinematic sensibility to painting - each work holding the stillness of a frame and the charge of emotion, examining how beauty, power, and identity unfold in a hyper-visual world.

Originally from Tasmania and now based on Victoria’s Surf Coast, she is largely self-taught. Her work is held in private collections across Australia and internationally.

Author John Marsden described her work as “a beautiful and lyrical thing.”
