About the artist
I create paintings about the quiet beauty of everyday life: light on water, a road between trees, childhood memories and moments worth preserving.
Ekaterina Chekha
Artist living and working in Lübben, Germany.
Story
I was born in Kazakhstan and spent my childhood in a small Siberian village. Nature, open space, snow, grass, wooden barns and quiet roads became the first images that stayed inside me.
I wanted to draw since childhood, but truly returned to painting as an adult in Germany. Today I work with oil, acrylic, watercolour and graphics, searching for my own language between realism, memory and inner state.
For me, a painting is not only an image. It is the feeling of a moment, air, colour, silence and a personal story that each viewer can feel in their own way.
Practice
I love texture, a living brushstroke and the feeling of unfinished reality — when a painting does not explain everything, but leaves space to breathe.
01
Light often becomes the main character in my paintings: it guides the eye, creates mood and holds the composition together.
02
Many subjects are born from childhood memories, family stories and places that cannot be forgotten.
03
I keep the trace of the brush and palette knife visible so the surface stays alive and carries the energy of movement.
Biography
The first strong impressions of nature, village life, light and space.
Moving to Germany and gradually returning to creativity as my main personal language.
Participation in local art life, learning, exhibitions and the development of personal series of works.
Atmosphere
My studio is a place of observation and experiment. Large landscapes, small studies, flowers, urban motifs and childhood series are born here.
Original works
I am open to questions about available works, sizes, delivery and creating a painting in a specific palette or mood.
