Katya Du Pond
A MEXICAN STORY
Born in Mexico, living in the United States of America, Katya Du Pond is that kind of Artist influenced more than anything else by her own temperament.
Free, friendly, in love with impressionism, talented and spiritual Katya declared very much confident « I don't need a mentor to express my artistic views ».
And she is right. I knew who she is in the moment I saw her artwork entitled,
« Fragile ». Starting from that image, I understood immediately the symbolic statement of her entire Art.
Katya is that artist « Created to create" - her motto and self definition. Feminine, brave, courageous the beautiful Mexican artist is involved in numerous humanitarian organizations using her art to support people in extrem situation like victims of the human traffiking .
She believes in the colour's positive message and she believes in her artistic femininity as the strongest weapon to improve the image of women worldwide.
Katya Du Pond' s exhibitions like the Alliance Francaise Exhibition in Dubai are more than anything else cultural and social gatherings bringing together women of different nationalities in the same spirit of empowerment .
Her artwork FRAGILE reminds us actually that WOMEN are always beautiful and of course not at all fragile in the common sense but stronger than ever.
