ABOUT

I am Katia Coelho, Franco Portuguese, based in Lisbon, born and raised in Paris 9.

Graduate in French literature from the Sorbonne, I was a fashion editor for 17 years in Paris for magazines such as Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan and art director for the international magazine Dealer de luxe which I founded and directed for 12 years.

In 2014, I made a 180° turn and moved to Lisbon where I successively experimented with ceramics and textile arts. It is with embroidery that I finally find my complete artistic expression by imagining abstract panels which, like the Rorschach test, allow the mind to travel and explore the projection of the imagination based on a proposed association of colors and textures.
