About the Item

Op Art Figurative Female Nude -- Sanctum of the Blooming Mind This painting by Dmitri Katz (American/German, b. 1972), circa 1992, presents a surreal, almost mythological female figure rendered in icy blues and soft beiges, kneeling in a dreamlike environment. The figure appears at once sculptural and fluid, with a restful countenance and loosely flowing blue hair that blends into the graphic, geometric background. The composition is divided into three zones: the lower area teems with stylized organic forms—floral and tentacle-like motifs—that evoke a fantastical undergrowth; the central zone frames the nude in a cathedral-like space of radiating lines; and the upper section explodes into complex, angular patterns reminiscent of op art. Katz’s use of line is both structural and decorative, reinforcing the tension between control and spontaneity. The painting explores themes of transformation, the divine feminine, and the intersection of natural and constructed realities Dmitri Katz who graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1996 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting, Film, and Design. He is currently based in Berlin, Germany, where he works as a designer, photo retoucher, and visual artist. One of his notable works is a digital composition titled Revolution?, which reimagines Eugène Delacroix’s Liberty Leading the People with modern figures and themes. This piece showcases his skill in blending classical art references with contemporary digital techniques. His professional experience includes collaborations with major brands such as Volvo, Audi, Sony, Adidas, and Telekom, as well as agencies like Saatchi & Saatchi and BBDO. In addition to his commercial work, Dmitri Katz has served as a Photoshop instructor in New York City and is pursuing a PhD engaging with both the practical and academic aspects of visual arts .
