My name is Kat Newell (born Dohnalova in Prague), also known as “nanokatka,” a name rooted in my more than twenty years in nanotechnology research.

I am an Amsterdam-based artist working primarily in classical oil painting, charcoal, graphite, soft pastel, and digital media.

My work centers on figurative art and abstract realism, with occasional ventures into the fantastic. I am interested in the tension between structure and emotion, precision and intuition, surface and depth.
