Portraits of Women as Symbols of Our Time

Ein Bericht über Ekaterina Moré in Palette - Kunstmagazin

Ekaterina Moré in the art magazine "Palette & Zeichenstift"

In the current issue of the art magazine "Palette," art historian Dr. Helmut Orpel dedicates a comprehensive article to the artist Ekaterina Moré – and makes it clear: Her works are more than aesthetic female portraits. They are powerful symbols of our time.

Ekaterina Moré's large-format acrylic paintings show women full of presence, sensuality, and self-confidence. They appear as a reminiscence of past eras – and at the same time as an answer to the call for authentic, feminine power in the present.

Between Avant-Garde and Inwardness

Dr. Orpel describes Moré's affinity for the avant-garde – especially for the artist Tamara de Lempicka – as a deliberate stylistic closeness, yet with a distinct personal touch. Her female figures are not nostalgic throwbacks but imbued with psychological depth.

In every picture, the moment seems to stand still – be it a woman at the wheel of a car ("Wonderful Sunday"), with a cocktail ("Barmaid"), or in a dialogue with herself. The depicted women oscillate between outer elegance and an inner world, between staging and introspection. This very dualism makes her works so timeless.

Female Figures with Depth

Ekaterina Moré masterfully addresses the theme of femininity beyond common stereotypes. Her "heroines" are not flat projections but complex personalities. They appear proud, vulnerable, strong – often all at once.

Thus, the magazine describes the protagonists as a "sacred counterpoint to male rationality." Their presence is not loud but intense. Their beauty is not conforming but idiosyncratic. And precisely through this, they become a symbol.

A Work in Dialogue with the Zeitgeist

In a time when many women are torn between self-realization and societal expectations, Moré creates a space for reflection with her art. Her painting invites contemplation, an engagement with one's own self – without being didactic.

The women in her pictures show paths: to oneself, to inner freedom, and to connection with one's own essential core.
