About
The painting experience, reflecting the passage from passion and emotion to meaning, is the safest path that leads to self-knowledge and redemption.
Katerina Hatzi is a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst. She graduated from the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Ioannina in Greece and continued her postgraduate studies in Paris (Université Paris VIII). She specialized in psychoanalysis and worked in several psychiatric Institutions in Paris, where she stayed until 2000. At that time she attended Art History courses at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes (Sorbonne – Paris). Along with her clinical work she has translated works of French psychoanalysts.
Katerina Hatzi's work has been exhibited in Greece, France and Italy. Her work has also been included in museum shows and public and private collections.
She lives and works in Athens.
"The painting, like psychoanalysis, is for me a way towards understanding and interpreting the world that surrounds me, a way to put the universe in a "pause" and to think. The painting experience, reflecting the passage from passion and emotion to meaning, is the safest path that leads to self-knowledge and redemption. Art, moreover, preceded the psychoanalytic exploration of mental life."
