Katja’s painted degree for The Doctor of Fine Arts at The Academy of Fine Arts Helsinki is called The Girl Army –Narrative painting in space. She is painting with oil on linen but uses also spray paint as a memory from her paintings she made as a teen rebellion. The girls in her paintings are both innocent and sassy, and she wants to create places of open-minded humanity with her paintings.
