Katerina Husar Lazarova: Contemporary Acrylic Painting and Ink Drawing

Katerina Husar Lazarova is a distinguished Czech-American artist and graphic designer currently operating from her studio in the Liberty Station Arts District of San Diego, California. Born in Brno, Czech Republic, she brings a rich European artistic heritage to her contemporary practice. Her academic journey includes studies in graphic design and art therapy in the Czech Republic, followed by an Associate of Arts from San Diego Mesa College and a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Arts from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). Her signature style is characterized by a unique process that begins with spontaneous, vibrant layers of acrylic paint followed by meticulous ink pen drawings. This dual approach allows Katerina Husar Lazarova to capture both raw emotion and fine, symbolic detail. Much of her work is deeply influenced by art therapy, focusing on how color and pattern influence the human psyche. Themes of personal narrative, subconscious exploration, and the search for inner answers are central to her portfolio. Katerina Husar Lazarova’s creative output extends beyond traditional canvas paintings to include wall sculptures, handcrafted laser-cut accessories, and decorative items like notebooks and cards. She is an active member of the San Diego Museum of Art Artists Guild and frequently participates in regional exhibitions such as ArtWalk Little Italy and solo shows like Connection with My Spirit. Her work invites viewers into a world of color and introspection, bridging the gap between the external landscape and the internal spirit.
