Katerina Roman-Maksimjuk is an artist, teacher, and lifelong traveler—both in her inner world and in external cultural spaces. She can be described as a person in search of harmony. Her creative work is interwoven with personal experiences, various roles, and everyday life, forming unique patterns.
She was born in Tallinn and currently lives and works in Estonia. In 2007, she obtained a bachelor’s degree in fine arts (graphics) from the Estonian Academy of Arts and later continued her studies at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague. She has held several solo exhibitions, including at the Amandus Adamson Studio Museum in Paldiski, and has participated in group exhibitions, including the Biennial of Drawing in Skopje, North Macedonia.
Katerina’s primary means of expression are graphic drawings and the line. “The language of the line is essential to me, but color and design are just as important,” the artist explains. Her works also reflect many years of experience as a graphic designer. The exhibition Sunshine Through Rain presents a selection of mixed-media works and graphic drawings created by the artist between 2020 and 2025.
Welcome to an intoxicating journey through the philosophy that beauty lies not in restraint but in abundance. This exhibition embraces the radical idea that more is indeed more, that richness and sensual excess create their own sublime aesthetic truth.
Here, maximalism emerges as both an artistic rebellion and a cultural statement, abandoning the cold minimalism that has dominated contemporary design in favor of warmth, personality, and unabashed abundance. Through a captivating landscape of textiles, ironic illustrations, sumptuous rugs, and boundary-pushing fashion, we explore how maximalism transforms space and form into experiences that engage the senses in the most pleasurable ways possible.
Together, these works challenge our modern comfort and emptiness. They invite us to reevaluate our relationship with abundance, to find beauty within the fast pace of life, and to realize that sometimes the deepest peace comes not from what we remove, but from what we dare to add.
Step forward and let yourself be overwhelmed. In maximalism, excess is not just pleasure – it is honesty towards the complexity and richness of the human experience itself.
