Up Close: Moments, is an online exhibition of the work of Kat Masella.
"When hard times come, can art make a difference? If my work can provoke reflection, and the cherishing of life and humanity, I am grateful." Kat Masella
For my current work, I honor and empathize with the human experience, the fragility of life, and the love that often prevails. I contemplate how we can embrace every moment we have in this short life and make the best of it.
Sketches both from observations and memory inform my work as I empathize with the human condition. Working with layers of mixed media, including oil, wax, and marble dust, my process becomes an adventure and a deep dive into the subconscious. Often I begin with intuition, but analysis and problem-solving also become critical for my intention of a unified expression.
When hard times come, can art make a difference? If my work can provoke reflection, and the cherishing of life and humanity, I am grateful.
