Kate’s another big passion is traveling, discovering. She has visited more than 40 countries and lived in 7 of them. Traveling is one of her biggest inspirations. She loves to see new places, to feel new emotions, to experience new things. This is what makes her feel alive.
But what inspires her the most in her art is a woman. She devotes her artworks to the beauty of a female body, women in general. Katalin wants to convey wonderful aura, warmth and love that come from women. A woman is not just a mother, not just the soul of the family. A woman is a strong, smart, brave being, capable of achieving anything.

It is a pity that in our world women are underestimated, only a small part of them is recognized. For example, the 2019 statistics for artists says:
“Despite talk of progress, just 11% of all acquisitions and 14% of exhibitions have been of work by women”
Katalin Macevics would like to change that.
“I made my pieces with love, with love to all our women all over the world, and to our nature and Mother Earth ❤️”
