Skip to main contentBiographytaken from file: "Robert Katona (1947--) is an American artist and innovator of the Flow Painting Technique. His method uses liquid acrylic paint poured onto the canvas, creating a dynamic flowing composition. When the paint is dry, he studies the free form color field and looks for abstract shapes and images that suggest a theme. He then paints these visions into the background with startling precision. When viewing his work, it may take several minutes, or even several viewings to find the hidden images and overall impact of the work.
While based in New York City for seven years, he created a form of computer art, Technism, made with colored plexiglas and electronics. He is a falconer and the first artist in North American to do falconry art. His knowledge of birds of prey has led to illustration contributions to the Raptor Research Foundation and the North American Peregrine Foundation.
His versatility as an artist has gained Katona worldwide reputation, and many awards including an award from the Society of Illustrators in New York, for his work on the book, "Golden Eagle Country." Katona's work appears in collections private and museums. Katona lives with his wife and two children in Colorado."
