Katerina Halepa-Katsatou

Katerina Chalepa-Katsatou (April 9, 1925 - June 10, 2004) was a prominent Greek sculptor, member of a distinguished family of artists.

Born in Athens, she was the daughter of Vassiliou Chalepas and Irene Iakovou Kouvaras and was the third generation of the Chalepas family in the field of sculpture, as she was a great-niece of Yiannoulis Chalepas and the great-granddaughter of Ioannous Chalepas.

Chalepa-Katsatou was trained in drawing at the private workshop of the painter Loukas Geralis and studied sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts with teacher Michalis Tobros. In addition, she trained in marble processing with the sculptor Georgios Mataragas. Her works were placed in public spaces and in the highest state institutions in Greece, as well as in private collections inside and outside the country.

She died in 2004 in Athens. Her work, although often underestimated due to its feminine nature in a male-dominated space, is an important part of the Greek artistic tradition.
