"Japanese goldfish 
With your gossamer tail, 
You are the loveliest creature
I have ever seen. 

Japanese kitten, 
Put your tongue back in 
where it belongs 
And go away. 
I know exactly what you are thinking."

Black Cat with Floral Motif of Art Nouveau - Cat Art

Black Cat with Floral Motif of Art Nouveau by Dora Hathazi Mendes, from the Cats of Karavella Collection.

There is one style with I fell in love at first sight, and it is called Art Nouveau. Was a very short lived, but highly creative movement, and I adore every aspect of it. The curved ornamental designs inspired by nature, the strong contours, the paintings of Mucha, the architecture, the dreamlike, otherworldly feel.  On my cat paintings, I often incorporate Art Nouveau elements, or simply get inspired by this decorative style.

My painting titled Black Cat of Floral Motif of Art Nouveau is one of best example for my passion to this unique style. An elegant cat painting which incorporates the black cat theme and decoration elements of Belgian Art Nouveau, also called Secession, or Jugendstil from the Turn of the Century. The Cat with the necklace is beautifully framed with ornaments of black organic lines, white mosaic, and gold flowers, in front of the warm red colour background.

Silver Tabby with Mandala - Cat Art

Silver Tabby with Mandala, cat painting by Dora Hathazi Mendes, from the Cats of Karavella Collection.


A mandala is a symbol both spiritual, and ritual in Indian religions, representing the microcosms of the universe, symbolising unity and harmony, and often used for an aid to meditation.

The smallest Feline is a masterpiece says the quote from Leonardo da Vinci. Just look into the eyes of a Cat, and listen the purring as chanting, this Divine Creature will help you experience both. See the Universe in her eyes, and probably your Cat will be your best Buddhist teacher, to show you how to meditate, how to obtain peace in your world. 

On my cat painting a silver coloured, elegantly striped, sophisticated tabby cat sitting in front of blue background with a mandala, surrounded with a geometric, stained glass style yellow frame as decorative element.

Legend of the Siamese - Cat Art

Legend of the Siamese, Cat Art by Dora Hathazi Mendes, from the Cats of Karavella Collection.

Once upon a time, an Eastern princess of Siam went to her daily bath to a lake. As usual, she was accompanied by her favourite cat, a Siamese. Because she was worrying for losing her ring, she placed it into the tail of the cat. The cat bended his tail for preventing the ring to fall off, and gradually over the years the tail of the Siamese Cat became with a permanent kink.

By the tale the Siamese cats were highly appreciated for their kinked tail, but today considered as a fault of the breed. On my whimsical painting I used freely the attributes of the Siamese, because one of their uniqueness is the sky blue eyes, and point coloration. Other eye colours are more typical for Orient Cats which breed practically have Siamese body and soul with different fur pattern and eye colour. My siamese cats have yellow eyes, green striped fur, golden dotted tails, and they are sitting graciously front of red background, and surrounded by a hand painted frame in Art Deco style.

Cheer Up My Friend - Cat Art by Cats of Karavella

Cheer Up My Friend, Cat Art by Dora Hathazi Mendes from the Cats of Karavella Collection.

I made this rainbow inspired cat painting, before I knew that later on I will have special significance to this beautiful natural phenomena, as I didn’t know that one day I will have a rainbow child. I experienced that very heavy storm, and long pouring rain to have my sunshine, so this cheerful painting always will have a special part in my heart.
