”Art is my voice – a profound expression of the unseen connections between our inner selves and the external reality. Through layered textures, abstract forms, and striking details, I explore the duality of human existence and celebrate the beauty of diversity.”

Born in France to a Ghanaian mother, Catherine Decôme grew up immersed in the rich traditions of her African heritage within a strict household devoid of modern distractions. Without television or toys, Catherine nurtured her imagination as a means of survival, cultivating creativity from a young age.

Facing challenges with dyslexia and feeling out of place among those around her, she found refuge in drawing, a medium through which she could express what words could not. This early exploration of art as a language shaped her journey, serving as a constant thread of self-expression and resilience.

At 15, Catherine’s unique presence opened doors to an international modeling career, exposing her to diverse cultures and artistic expressions. These experiences broadened her horizons and subtly influenced her emerging artistic style.

In 2017, amidst a personal journey of healing and self-discovery, Catherine reconnected with her passion for art. What began as a therapeutic exploration evolved into a passionate vocation. 

Catherine’s art fuses the intensity of dark abstraction with glimpses of realism, exploring themes of identity, sensuality, and the spiritual dimensions of human existence. Guided by intuition, her mixed media works incorporate intricate textures, bold contrasts, and rich color palettes inspired by her African heritage. Faces and forms emerge in her paintings, reflecting diverse cultures and emphasizing the strength and beauty found in individuality.

Her mission transcends creating art; Catherine aspires to inspire others to embrace their unique journeys and recognize the transformative power of creativity. By embedding symbolic narratives within her work, she invites viewers to engage in a personal dialogue and find their own connections.

Catherine Decôme’s work is not just an artistic expression. It is an exploration of the human condition, a celebration of resilience, and an invitation to see the world through a lens of vibrant authenticity. Through her art, she reminds us that even within complexity, there is profound beauty.
