Katrina Jurjans’ practice navigates themes of memory, transition, and emotion, capturing the fluid intersections between the tangible and the ephemeral. Her figures, rendered with varying levels of presence, dissolve and reappear, existing as thresholds between the material and the immaterial—foreground and background, past and present, memory and dream. Through a formal exploration of pattern, colour theory, repetition, and layered composition, Jurjans constructs symbolic narratives that explore transformation and emotional depth. Organic forms and abstract motifs are imbued with dual meanings: growth and absence, weight and lightness, permanence and change. Her work engages with the language of magical realism, grounding intimate and nostalgic imagery within conceptual frameworks of transformation. By integrating surface and subject, Jurjans reimagines the relationship between environment and identity. Her paintings evoke a constant state of flux, inviting viewers to reflect on the shifting boundaries of perception and the layered complexities of memory and experience.
