Monika Blanka Katterwe is an internationally active artist working at the intersection of science and art. She combines photography, videography, painting, graphics, and sculpture with modern technologies to visualize complex relationships.
Her work is based on studies at the University of Potsdam, Humboldt University of Berlin, and the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig, and is complemented by continuous scientific research.
Thematically, her spectrum ranges from mathematics, archaeology, geology, astronomy, and physics to artistic work with artificial intelligence. A particular focus lies on the investigation of historical technologies as catalysts for present and future developments.
Her works have been exhibited internationally, including in Paris, London, Rome, Berlin, Zurich, and Miami, and have been published in numerous publications. She has received several international art awards.
Katterwe’s works invite viewers not only to observe the world, but to rethink its hidden structures between past and future through the dialogue of science and art.
From the macro perspective of a digital Canon professional camera emerges the foundation of this work: a photograph of a material under tension. Through the masterful application of special filters and the deliberate use of a politicized light, its hidden spectrum of colors is revealed—an iridescent, vibrant glow pulsing from deep indigo through glowing gold to radiant neon green.
This light-infused primal image is interwoven with mathematically modeled structures, fractals, and their diverse transformations. Through reflection and multiplication, it grows into a complex, symmetrical pattern—a contemporary, luminous tessellation that appears like a cosmic fabric.
The work combines the mathematical-geometric fundamental principles of life with large cyclical processes and human family traditions. The strict order of the structure meets the lively, constantly changing coloration, thereby illustrating the productive tension between system and freedom.
In deliberate reference to Article 5 of the Basic Law—the freedom of science, research, and art—the work understands itself as a manifesto of artistic-scientific freedom. It demonstrates how the latest insights and technical possibilities can be freely used to make complex relationships aesthetically perceptible and communicable on a global scale.
A artistically-scientific photo painting realized as NFT in interpretation of the jump to the higher levels of understanding the bonds between dimensions.
“Dive in the world of hyperspace”
A artistically-scientific visualisation of the first step to leave the 3. Dimension through diving in the world of higher dimensions realized as NFT.
“Visiblity of structurally endless 2”
The Cubic as octogonal entanglement offers the visibility and their inner understanding of structural patterns at the hyperspace with their infinity here as NFT.
The circle as fractale hexagonally entanglement build similar in the hyperspace patterns like naturally skeleton but is endless presented in the way as unique NFT.
Geometrical
This work emerged from an investigation into the universal geometric foundations that shape our reality. It explores the striking similarities between geometric structures on the molecular and mineral levels — those invisible ordering principles that underlie both living and non-living matter.
Starting from a specially created photograph in which light is used as a painterly medium, the piece merges with mathematical modulations. Fractal formulas, custom-adapted shapes, and their transformations and fusions give rise to a hybrid form: at once crystalline and organic, growing and dissolving.
Within a luminous geometric framework, a golden, fragmented structure unfolds — delicate yet monumental. It appears to exist in a state of permanent transformation, suspended between order and dissolution, between molecular precision and cosmic expanse.
„Geometrical“ visualizes the poetry of mathematics. It demonstrates how photography and algorithmic creation together generate a new, independent visual language — a contemporary fusion in which light, code, and matter combine to make complex universal connections visible and experiential.
