Katalin Soós was born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1978. She studied at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts and at the ELTE in Budapest, at the faculty of social studies. Soós' works explore the relationship between art and cultural anthropology. She is a painter, but also makes videos and photo series for her research in preparation of her paintings. Her paintings can mainly be recognized as parts of a fieldwork about her current surroundings to understand the cultural context of the phenomena.

The paintings display various constructed spaces and particular details of these spaces. The pictures always grow out of a long process of preparatory collection work. The collecting phase has become an indispensable component of the creative process, the medium of which is photo and video. The important thing is that the elements are then forged into an organized vision. Here the medium is just a tool. Soós combines and mixes elements from her collection into new patterns by seeking out those narrow conceptual seams along which these elements touch upon one another.

At the WINTER ACADEMY 2 Katalin Soós supervised laboratory 7 - YOUR NORMAL FREAK - together with Gudrun Herrbold.
