Kate Tova’s work incorporate vibrant, large-scale multimedia artworks incorporate reflective mediums and thick textures in. Colors splash across the page melding into flourishes of sequins, rhinestones, and glitter. The natural beauty of her subjects is juxtaposed against the "engine of technology" inspiring personal and innovative compositions.
Tova comes from the small riverside town of Balakovo, Russia. As a child, she demonstrated early virtuosity in visual arts and soon moved to Moscow to expand her opportunities in the busy capital. Recreating the lavishly gilded architecture of churches and museums of her early years still inspires Tova’s work.
Tova’s constant urge to create and experiment won her recognition across Russia, Europe, and the United States. In 2015 she moved to New Orleans, where she began working as a full-time artist. In New Orleans, carnivals inspired Tova to use a vibrant color palette and thick, generous brushstrokes. After four bright and successful years in the Big Easy, she moved to San Francisco.
Tova has earned awards and critical acclaim participating in art exhibitions in Vienna, Berlin, New York, Prague and other cities around the world. Tova’s art has appeared on the covers of foreign music records, been published in international magazines, and even inspired a jewelry collection.
