About the Artwork:
“Clione – angel of the sea. My ‘muses’ for this series seemed like visitors from another world indeed: the magnificent inhabitants of the ocean’s depths. This show’s promt ‘MicroVisions’ guided my focus on the tinier sea creatures which are incredibly beautiful, complex and fascinating, regardless of their size. Clione limacia, also called ‘sea angel’ was my inspiration for this piece. I was enthralled instantly by this creature’s mesmerizing and unearthly beauty.” – Katharina Ortner

(Artist Bio)
Katharina Ortner is an artist and graphic designer born in Russia currently living in Germany. She loves to create ever new shapes inspired by the beautiful and sometimes bizzare forms of nature. Her art is deeply influenced by music, japanese pop culture and the old masters of Art Nouveau. She conjures up images living in the borderland between reality and dream, mostly tranquil, sometimes sad. In her Artwork you will find beings in a trance-like state, maybe just awakening or still in a deep sleep, but all inviting you to follow them into their realm outside of reality.
