KATJA TOMZIG | CREATING A NEW WORLD
“My works present creatures and scenes that don’t emanate from my imagination; instead, they arise from a splash of color to be made visible to others with my pencil and brush. Every picture invites the viewer into a brief, relaxing getaway that liberates the mind. Through this, a new space is created. I remind the viewer of their creativity by showing them how it can look when one expands their perspective to make room for something new. After all, we live in an exciting time where everything is possible.”
