Fine Art Book 2, Let's Create by Katja Koevoet;ISBN: 9781034653752
Born in Zaandam 1972.
After first going through the Atheneum and been a member
of the Dutch Freestyle ski team for a number of years.
At the age of 17 I finished second
at the World Junior Freestyle Championship 'Ballet'
in Le Sauze France.
After a knee injury and illness I had to stop my ski career
So I became more and more interested in the creative profession.
Photography and painting particularly attracted me.
I'm a self-taught, everything I can now and create,
I've uncovered by doing, reading, trying, experiencing, years on.
I eventually created my own style.
In 2000 I started photographing with oil and drawing with chalk
In 2000 I also started shooting.
Following in the footsteps of my father, who for many years also photographed with great passion
That's how this virus got to me.
Although my photos were beautiful, the result was never exactly what I envisioned.
I would prefer to paint them.
I wanted my photos to be exactly as I saw them in my head,
that they would supposedly come to life.
Therefore, I tried something else.
I kept shooting, but then climbed behind my computer.
I started painting with digital brushes through my PC's tablet.
To give an idea of what I experience and see when I see my photo 's make.
Am I also going to write text in my works.
I hope to take the viewer on my trip
of the photo in my head , until the final work of art on the wall.
I still paint and draw, but no longer with oil or chalk".
Finally in 2010 I dared to take the step and call myself:
FotoArt artist and photographer.
So I ended up focusing entirely on a combination
of photography and painting.
It became my passion to do something no one else did,
in the way I do now.
To date I create with an awful lot of passion and experience,
my entirely contemporary photo art,
in a way that no one else does.
Certainly, when you consider that I am also expressing my art,
in a very limited to a single certified edition.
With pride, I'd love to show you my art.
So I'll take you in 'My World'.
I hope I can hit you with it.
In the meantime, I've been happy to put some very nice assignments under my name.
It would be great if I could create a 'Unique' work of art for you personally, or for your company
Let me Create and be Unique.
I am also a member of the NABK, the Dutch Association of Visual Artists.
I have also won some nice awards/nominations.
In the meantime, many satisfied customers have left a testimonial or review on my website.
Feel free to take a look at it and read what people think and if that appeals to you.
In 2012 I received the public prize for my artwork 'Biking'
In 2013 I achieved the amazing first place at the Regional Art Days Amsterdam.
With my Kats Original Fairytale and with my Kats Original; Open Eyes - A Telling Story.
Which I published in a certified limited edition.
Meanwhile, 4 of the 6 from this certified and limited edition have now been sold.
Totally amazing really an honor and beautiful result.
In 2016, I was released with my 11 new works of art at the National Art Days in Ahoy Rotterdam:
A Women's Art.
voted second best by the public.
An audience of over 5000 people btacht voted out of 218 very well esteemed artists.
The second prize was therefore a huge honor.
'So amazing!
Especially since so many people had been so excited'
'Grateful and incredibly happy and satisfied I am with that amazing Result.
4 of the 11 works of art, or 'Kats Originals I presented there were sold within a week of this exhibition
I thank this voting audience from the bottom of my heart.
'That you are so massive on voting me was amazing!'

The National Art Days 2016: The Winners < >>br/>br br 'Kats Originals are only published in very limited edition.
'Kats Originals are released after 2015 even only in the unique edition of 1/1.
More than unique because of this.
In my early beginnings around 1996, I painted with oil paint and drew with pastel rice.
Although I also photographed from 2000 and my photos were very appealing
and my paintings quite beautiful,
the result wasn't what I had in mind.
It wasn't what really gave me satisfaction.
PhotoArt.
I wanted my photos to come to life,
as if they were painted.
I developed my own style
That's how Katsphotoart
My current works range from realistic Fine PhotoArt
to the more abstract Fine PhotoArt.
They are always Art Giglee certified unique works of art,
which are only published in certified limited edition by Re-Art in Almere, where they are always produced.
So always linked to an official:
Art Giglee certificate, from RE-Art in Almere. What ensures quality, utmost precision and durability, for years.
: Art Giglee Certified.
My Kats Originals range from large to small,< br/> they appeal to both old and young and are atmospheric and colourful.
Also they always have something surprising in them.
Remotely many my 'Kats Originals beautiful photos,
but one gets closer than it turns out to be
real Fine PhotoArt paintings.
Many of my works of art radiate peace and atmosphere during the day
Yet they come as much as it becomes dim and dark,
even more alive.
Themes in my work are: nature, sea, beach, animals and people.
In all my works of art I am guided by color , composition and experience and emotion.
The world, things polite and experienced,
sadness, passion, adversity and happiness.
As an artist I work in Hoorn Nh
from there I run my company Katsphotoart.
At the same time I also live in this beautiful old VOC town on Lake Ijssel.
That's lovely, the Ijssel meer but certainly also the North Sea coast
are a great source of inspiration for me.
Within my company Katsphotoart I make a lot of my own work the: 'Kats Originals that I sell and exhibit.
At the same time, I am working on assignment
and also work on the production preparation and creation of photo walls for large companies.
Among others commissioned and collaborated with Tachup bv.
In the end, the possibilities are endless in terms of creativity.
All my creativity and inspiration comes from my passion.
So it is fed through everything.
Both FotoArt works of art commissioned for individuals,
but certainly also for companies,
is one of the 'unique' possibilities I can offer you.
Yes and then of very small unique works of art.
Just for your home on the wall,
to also very large photo walls for both,
particulating at home and certainly again for companies.>br
In fact, anything is possible, the sky is the limited.
So: Let me Create and be Unique!
Thank you for taking the trouble to read my story.
I look forward to getting creative for you as well.
With Passionate & Creative Greeting, Katja Crowbar,
