Katerina Teresidi is a contemporary Austrian artist known for her figurative paintings that speak the language of dreams, serving as contemporary witnesses to our world. After earning her Diploma at the Art University Linz in 2015 under the guidance of Prof. Huebner and Diploma supervisor Prof. Joanna Barck, she relocated to Vienna, Austria, where she currently works as a professional artist and event organizer.
Teresidi is deeply engaged in the cultural field, collaborating with various galleries and art collectives while also teaching art and curating exhibitions.

Teresidi's art has garnered international recognition, with her works included in numerous Austrian and international collections.
