Bellísimo Arte psíquico !!

Kathleen's figure pieces are exceptional, especially by means of staining the canvas with earthy tones. Just sit back and experience the fleshy tones peering out of the worked surface.

Kathleen gives us figurative dissection so rare that to behold her work reminds us we live a life,that she, in black and white lays bare

Miss Kathleen Mercado is a truly gifted artist with the ability to express the most deepest dimensions of the soul into a tangible visible form. She seems to see in plain sight, that which most of us can barely remember even in dreams. A true visionary and a true beautiful soul.

Like many great artists, Kathleen's work is enigmatic. Her images are raw, yet veiled; vulnerable, yet trusting; powerful, yet subtle. It makes you think. It makes you feel. It touches your soul.

Kathleen Kathleen.....what can I say? She takes photos that can drag you in a movie from a long time ago. One of those movies that you will always love because they are eternal classics. And she is the director.

J'aime l'opiniâtreté de Kathleen ! Elle creuse son chemin, sans relâche, elle s'approche, par cercles concentriques, de son but, toujours à venir. C'est rare et admirable. I like the obstinacy of Kathleen! It pushes its way relentlessly, she approaches, concentric circles, its purpose, still to come. It's rare and a… Read more

I wrote about one of her photographs "The exquistie complexities that can be reached with the simplest of approaches. There is nothing that could be added and nothing that would not be sorely missed if taken away." For me this defines Kathleen's work.

I wrote about one of her photographs "The exquistie complexities that can be reached with the simplest of approaches. There is nothing that could be added and nothing that would not be sorely missed if taken away." For me this defines Kathleen's work. She is evocative of the classic era of photography, but never slavish. Her approach combines the best of the trraditionalists - form, light and a basic lens - with the passion and heart that transcends any simple classification. For me, Kathleen has become essential.

her photographs are profound- deep empathy for her street subjects captured in their inner turmoil... a sharp sense for what is a fresh composition. Both sensuous and fleeting, atmospheric and lyrical, it's a delight to wander these self-photos, landscapes and portraits like a street walker overhearing a vague whisper of loss or home.

Kathleen loves what she does. It's possible to see it in each and everyone of her photos. She achieves that they exhale soul. And this is something that very few obtain.

Kathleen loves what she does. It's possible to see it in each and everyone of her photos. She achieves that they exhale soul. And this is something that very few obtain. Her photos are always landscapes. The landscape of her body. The bucolic landscape. The oneiric landscape. The real landscape. The raw landscape. The cruel landscape. She plays at cheating us. She undresses in front of the camera and makes us believe that we know who is. But she is everything what she does and everything what she hides. The rest is only pure photo.
