Artist Statement
My goal as an artist is to celebrate how our differences make our life richer, and to acknowledge — and celebrate — how in these differences we are so alike.
Through my Art I narrate, with brush strokes in people’s faces, each person’s individuality, avoiding the boundaries created by skin color and ethnicity. This is why all my characters are expressed in various shades of gray. By emphasizing the gestures of the subject surrounded by vibrant colors, I invite the viewer to start a conversation and connect with something deeper to discover the humanity we all share and to feel the raw emotions such as innocence, hopelessness, loneliness, resilience, happiness, determination and more that I portrayed in each canvas.
Catalina Gomez-Beuth
You can pierce through the soul of global humanity, childhood, feminine empowerment and taste the richness of different cultures when you experience the art of Catalina Gomez-Beuth.
Catalina was born in Medellin, Colombia, where she studied fashion design at the “Escuela De Diseño Proyectual”. Her love for art was deepened during her stay in Florence, Italy, where she pursued studies in design. However, her true passion has always been painting, vocation she showed since she was a child.
Her culture, life experiences and concerns as a person, as a mother and as a woman serve as inspiration for her pictorial works. Currently she is working simultaneously in several art series.
Diversity and multiculturalism deeply touch her artistic sensitivity becoming the inspiration for her series titled “ROOTS”. Her children and her role as a mother are the foundation for the development of her series” DREAMERS,” and women’s essence have inspired the series “MUSAS.”
Catalina has lived in the United States since 2000; she currently resides in Atlanta, GA with her husband and her two children who have been her permanent source of inspiration.
She has collaborated with her work to some non-profit organizations such as: “Caminar Latino”, “Pianos For Peace”, “JDRF Georgia Chapter”, “Wheels Of Happiness” and “Feel Beautiful Today”. She has also collaborated with the “Latin American Association” as a juror for their annual youth Art Contest 2020.
From 2016 to 2020 she was a member and volunteer of the Art Committee at the Colombian Consulate in Atlanta and currently she volunteer for VporColombia’s Art Committee in Atlanta that aims to spreading and exalting Colombian culture in the State of Georgia, US.
Catalina was recognized by the Colombian Foreign Ministry among the 100 Outstanding Colombian #migrants of 2020.
“I really believe in the importance that Art has to create bridges of communication and inspiration to build and improve communities.”
