Catalina’s work is known for its dark, intricate aesthetic, where plants, animals, and organic textures intertwine with surreal elements and layered symbolism. Through tattooing, she honors both the language of nature and the personal stories of her clients, transforming skin into a meaningful canvas that reflects cycles of life, death, and renewal. Her designs embody fragility and resilience, inviting viewers to reconnect with nature and explore the hidden stories within themselves.
For Catalina, art is a way to express what words cannot. Through each tattoo, she hopes to evoke introspection, encouraging viewers to pause, reflect, and feel a part of the universal cycles that shape both nature and human experience.
