Alimova Katerina

Katerina Alimova was born in 1987. After graduating from the St. Petersburg State University in journalism, anthropology and ethnography, Katerina began her studies at the art workshop of A. Gladkoy and V. Noskova, and graduated in 2012.Since 2011, she has been working in the ceramic workshop LikeForms Ceramics.

The artist, together with Artem Maksimov, develops a line of creativity that balances on the verge of Western philosophy and ancient Eastern artistic practices, between Viennese Actionism, Buddhist art of Hara-Khoto and Ai Weiwei's installations.

Katerina and Artem focus on the search for a new identity and a ''Russian soul'' in modern digital reality. The concept they developed reflects the duality of human life and its tragically unrealized potential in the world of possibilities. They speculate about the condition of society with its anxiety about socio-economic storms, with its fear of isolation, with its control and target systems.

In addition to ceramics, they are also involved in street art, installation, and performance.
