Catarina Leitão (Stuttgart, Germany, 1970) is an artist. Her favored mediums are drawing, sculpture, installation and the book. Key to her work, the idea that human and nature exist in continuity, the notions and processes of assembly, adaptability and hybridity play a fundamental role in negotiating a discourse between the two and the three-dimensional, the artificial and the natural, the actions of assembling and disassembling, which is materialized by a sculptural language that makes use of installation, drawing and illustration.

Catarina Leitão’s drawings arises from the idea that human and nature, artifice and nature, culture and nature exist in continuity. The drawings represent possible annotations; fabulations presented as fictitious scientific works that observe and take on forms, ideas, and sensations we can extract from the dimensions of the organic, the manufactured, geology and botany.
