About me

Kateřina Hampel

Since 2002, I have been painting pictures that express emotions and the state of the soul. My work is full of colours that speak through their intensity and invite deeper reflection and exploration. I draw inspiration from my own imagination, which allows me to create works that bring calm and space for daydreaming, and spread positive energy.

My aim is not only an aesthetic experience but also a deeper connection between the viewer and the painting. Each of my paintings carries an energetic charge that works on both an emotional and a physical level. Reactions to them are individual – one painting may speak to a viewer immediately, another may go unnoticed. The one that draws us in is often the one carrying the energy we need right now. On the other hand, a work that evokes no feeling in us may carry energy we already have within us, or energy we do not need at that moment.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe already tried to understand how colours affect the human soul and summarised his findings in his famous Theory of Colours in 1810. Today we know that colours radiate specific energies which, used in the right way, can significantly influence our physical and mental health. My paintings are therefore not only an aesthetic experience but also a way to find balance, calm and inner strength.
