Iris Apfel (2022) Painting by Kascho

Katharina Schopen, known by her alias Kascho, is a contemporary German painter from Aachen. As a self-taught artist, she draws inspiration from the expressive color worlds of renowned artists such as Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and LeRoy Neiman. Schopen specializes in creating vibrant and expressive portraits of well-known personalities.

Her artistic approach is guided by a desire to capture the essence of her subjects rather than striving for exact realism. Schopen believes in painting what is felt rather than what is seen, seeking to portray the personality rather than the outward appearance of her subjects.

After completing a master's degree in Legal Psychology, which included a published work, Schopen made the bold decision to pursue a full-time career as an artist. Her paintings come to life spontaneously, created with a spatula and brush, guided by intuition and feeling. Each piece is a new creative adventure, with no preconceived plan in mind. Schopen allows the painting process to unfold organically, embracing the surprises that emerge along the way.
