Theme of 2023: Reflection

We are thrilled to announce Katerina Belkina as the winner of the Beyond Future Art Prize 2023. Katerina, a talented artist based in Germany, has captivated our judges and community with her profound exploration of the psychology of human relationships and emotions.

Katerina’s work, primarily executed in digital painting and photography, is a beautiful blend of aesthetic pleasure and deep introspection. Her series “For all mankind, 2022 – 2023” is particularly noteworthy for its imaginative interpretation of our relationship with the cosmos. In this series, Katerina constructs alien landscapes using everyday materials, creating a visual dialogue between the microcosm of our immediate surroundings and the vast expanse of the universe.

Her work emphasizes the power of the present moment, providing a poignant commentary on our busy lives and our often overlooked ability to marvel at life’s complexities. She creates a sense of timelessness, encouraging viewers to appreciate the transitory nature of each moment.

Katerina’s art serves as a compelling reminder of our capacity to stop time, to live in the moment, and to find extraordinary beauty in the ordinary. Her work is a testament to the power of art in fostering reflection, promoting mindfulness, and challenging our perception of reality.
