The joy of expression
Hi, I'm Natalia – artist, creative soul, and founder of Studio Katz in Boots.
Back when I was six, my journey with art started once I enrolled in my first art school. I never stopped creating since then, and throughout the years, I’ve explored countless techniques, materials, and styles. Art has always been my constant companion.
Although I pursued product design and enjoyed the structure of my studies, I soon realized my heart was inching closer to art than anything else. That led me to study fine arts abroad, first in Seoul, then in Rome and Barcelona, and later in Indonesia, where I delved deeper into my creative exploration.

However, my life took a detour for a while: I worked in corporate offices, climbing the ladder and building a career, but I felt like something was always missing. I sensed a disconnect as if I was forcing myself into a life that didn’t reflect who I truly was.
I then began an education in art therapy and, as I was looking into the benefits of art, I found my answer: the Japanese philosophy of Ikigai. The idea of living with purpose by doing what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs, and what you can get paid for.
That’s how Studio Katz in Boots was born....

One of my missions is to help both individuals and businesses lower their daily stressors and mental loads through art and creation.
My goal is to contribute to the prevention of burnout by offering after-work workshops that feel relaxed; I want to create space for people to feel drawn to create, engage with themselves and others, and step aside from the daily hustle and bustle for a little while.
In my workshops, I find myself toying with the idea that by creating something tangible, one can achieve a boost in creativity, which can later on reflect in the way we seek solutions to problems, be it in our personal lives or our careers.

For my corporate workshops, I search for ways to deepen social relations between coworkers, develop new skills, and foster an environment that allows them to detach from work pressures.
I am currently offering weekly, bi-weekly and monthly workshops for corporations at their location, as well as custom-designed creative team buildings, events and camps for children and private art workshops for individuals in my studio.
Studio Katz in Boots is always open to ideas and suggestions for what kind of events to bring forth next.
