Vintage aesthetics influence her style, while she also pokes fun at aspects of popular culture. She utilizes a mix of colour, monochrome, and digital art techniques.
Katerina approaches portraits as a means of self-expression. Her work embodies a playful and distinctly feminine aesthetic, yet it often draws upon macabre themes like grief and stillness. She enjoys creating a sense of unease and tension within her images. She endeavours to confront the viewer, encouraging them to question the narratives embedded in her work.
Through the careful use of props, pose, and styling, Katerina introduces storytelling elements that enhance her visual narratives. She meticulously controls composition, lighting, and form to create striking and thought-provoking images.
