KATARZYNA BARRÉ

Currently reside in Chamonix Mont Blanc, France.

Katarzyna Barre is a Polish-French artist. Born in Bialystok, Poland, she was fascinated by drawing and painting since childhood. Her geography teacher advised her to enter the Arthur Grottger Higher School of Fine Arts in Suprasl, and she followed her advice, she managed to graduate from this school, and still has wonderful memories. After finishing school, Katarzyna moved to Paris. There she met Marek, who gave her the opportunity to show her work at the Mazurka restaurant in Paris, for her the exhibition was a minor success. Later, life changed and she had to put painting on hold. Moving to Chamonix-Mont-Blanc revived her inspiration and desire to paint. Gradually, the artist began to draw, paint and sculpt again. As the number of her works increased, she was able to organize an exhibition at the Impossible restaurant in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc. However, an important milestone for her was participation in the Art3f contemporary art fair in Lyon. After the fair, she received many proposals, which served as a driving force for further work. Subsequently, Katarzyna exhibited her work in Venice, Rome, Turin, Madrid, Paris, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferret and Miami in the format of virtual exhibitions. An article about her work was also published in Paris Art magazine. She had the great honor to present her work in the Indian magazine “International Worvid”. She is now preparing for new exhibitions in Paris and Vienna. In addition, she was lucky enough to collaborate with a nursery, where she and the director created a book with her drawings called “Papotages à la Grainederie”. Katarzyna also conducts drawing and painting lessons. In March 2024, she will present her work at the virtual exhibition “INC Virtuous Exhibition” in Turkey.
She is an artist with a clear penchant for figurative painting, because I love to capture emotions on faces. She was always fascinated by portraits, both created by other artists and found in books or museums. However, she gets just as much pleasure from painting outdoors, where she can add her own elements, make changes and look to her imagination for inspiration. She likes color, light and aesthetics. She strives to develop and values creativity. Katarzyna likes to tell stories, and one of the stories she got to tell was about my childhood in the village of Trzescianka.
