Katerina Bohac
Katerina Bohac was born in Caracas Venezuela, she is a charismatic Czech- Venezuelan artist living in Toronto since August 2022. She considers herself a worldwide citizen. With Latin America and Czech ancestors.
I lived in Venezuela part of my life. My mother was Venezuelan, and my father was Czech. My Czech name had motivated me to traveled and lived in the Czech Republic looking for my family roots, I got to know the culture and the language.
In 2004 I had the opportunity to work with the Czech-Venezuelan association in Caracas. We were presenting and propagating Czech culture which got me interested in knowing and learning Czech language. In 2005 thanks to the grants given by the Czech Ministry of External Affairs I had the chance to attend the summer course in Dobruska. That was my first visit of the Czech Republic and from that moment I knew I would like to live in that country. In 2007 I moved to the Czech Republic. It was a world changing for me, many events and opportunities happened there. I opened an Art Gallery and studio, and I kept it until 2020 when Covid hits.
In that year I met my life partner and we decided to start a new life, I moved with him to Abu Dhabi in UAE and enjoyed teaching and learning in a different young culture. This year we moved to Toronto, Canada and I am here developing a new ceramic artwork.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
She does ceramics, paintings, and installations. Yet ceramics allows her to express her ideas in three-dimensions, relief and with colour experimentation. Although she loves painting, she feels more realized with ceramics, an ancient technique, which requires a great understanding of earthly materials along with the application of ancient knowledge, allowing her to investigate forms and surfaces. Studies of glaze development and application were one of her favourites.
She gets inspirations from her surroundings. In Venezuela she painted tropical fauna and flora and magical figuration. In the Czech Republic she got inspired by city towers and architecture. She has been working on figuration for many years, being her last paintings inspired by women of the world, a series of several artworks that highlight the strength and value of earthly experience.
Her most recent development her Toronto studio is a series of cubist vases, and figurative ceramic sculptures. Katerina works with red clay, Terracotta, and she fires in cone 06 and 6. Glaze application is one of the beauty of her works.

The Chinese bride: The characteristic of Chinese weddings is that the Chinese marry in red and with that color they celebrate the success, prosperity, fidelity and happiness of the new family. That is why the Chinese bride is a pure, young woman, with an illusion of life….

Flowers in the head is a painting that I painted as a tribute to the Brazilian-Venezuelan dancer Carmen Miranda. It is a very jovial and happy painting with warm colors that remind us of the tropics. Carmen Miranda was a highly admired actress in the 1930s.

The Geisha is a traditional Japanese artist dedicated from her birth to beauty and to giving pleasure. The geishas are precise women who take care of all the details and who hide under their made-up faces the true essence of their being; strong women who under the legacy of their ancestral traditions, are lethargic in a mere image that deceives those who observe them.
