KATJA SVEJKOVSKY

PAINTER, TAXIDERMIST

“Born in 1970 in Vienna, i taught myself to draw and paint early on. I even skipped painting classes in school because i hated the teacher.

Since then i never stopped, but full time jobs left me with little time on the side. i love everything surreal and precise, like for example the wonderful works of Leonora Carrington and Remedios Varo. I fiddle a lot with my tiny brushes and work patiently for a long time on one painting. I made a taxidermy course and did several sleeve designs for independent record labels Syntactic, Klanggalerie, and Opiumdenpluto. I am part of the Berufsvereinigung für bildende Künstler Österreichs, where i won second place on the annual art award 2025.”
