Artistic Description:

Cathedral Katz is a vibrant symphony of geometry, color, and whimsy, depicting three expressive cats posed like sacred figures before whimsical, cathedral-like structures. The two larger cats stand proud, their wide, soulful eyes reflecting curiosity and wisdom, while a smaller, equally colorful kitten nestles between them — a symbol of family, protection, and generational wonder. Behind them, swirling patterns and concentric circles ascend like stained-glass windows in motion, merging the playful and the divine. Bold lines carve out their forms with confidence, while a patchwork floor of crackled stone suggests age and timelessness beneath their playful presence. Tiny birds flutter in a nearby ornate cage, representing freedom within structure, mirroring the balance between discipline and creativity.

Personal Interpretation:

This piece feels like entering a sacred space where joy and artistry reign supreme. The cats, with their wise, oversized eyes and flowing lines, are guardians of imagination — protectors of wonder in a world that too often forgets to marvel. The swirling cathedral spires and colorful architecture remind me that creativity has its sanctuaries, and those sanctuaries live within us. Cathedral Katz evokes both reverence and delight, whispering that every artist’s soul is a cathedral — colorful, imperfect, timeless, and filled with life’s little surprises.
