Ekaterina Dimieva
Ekaterina Dimieva is an abstract artist based in Auckland. She completed MFA at Elam School of Fine Arts in 2020. Ekaterina was born in Sofia, Bulgaria and moved to New Zealand in 2001. She lives and works in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland.
The focus on sensation is central to Ekaterina’s work. There’s an emphasis on profusion, overabundance and excess in the mark making and paint application. She is interested in achieving a certain complexity and thickness of the picture surface, which encourages the viewer’s eye to continually shift in the painting, searching endlessly for the next movement or displacement. The paintings are intended to work as sensory puzzles and riddles – conundrums that celebrate the sensual and the feminine.
Ekaterina was a finalist for the RT Nelson Emerging Artist Award 2019 as well as the Winner of the Gordon Harris MFA Student Award 2018.
Ekaterina continues to exhibit and sell her works nationally and internationally.
