The artist behind KKArt
Rooted in Bulgaria.
Inspired by the islands.
“I find it my passion to observe things and always find something extraordinary within the very ordinary.”
Born in Bulgaria and based in The Bahamas, Katerina Kovatcheva is an artist whose career moves fluently between fine art, design and education. She holds a Master’s degree from the Academy of Fine Arts in Sofia, where the foundations of observation, drawing and composition shaped a practice that continues to evolve.
Her early work in fashion design included her own studio and clothing collections. That creative breadth later extended to illustration, theatrical and hospitality design, portraiture and handcrafted work. Across watercolor, acrylic, oil, pastel, graphite and collage, her interest remains personal: the expression in a face, the gesture of a bird, the changing light over a harbour.
The Bahamas is more than a setting in her paintings. Its people, marshes, shallow seas and everyday rhythms form a visual language of belonging. Her art celebrates the extraordinary found in familiar moments, with a particular affection for human character and the natural world.
