Ekaterina Grigoryeva’s art is very emotional; it generates strong musical and poetical associations. Against the background of a complicating vanguard development her lyrical abstractions such opposite from  the main stream. Ekaterina Grigoryeva has individual approach to the world, her impressions are identifiable and unidentifiable. The author’s ability to vary her methods, to enrich growing styles and  images of flowers and nature to overcome the original still life motives. Grigoryeva’s rare directions of genre are unrepeatable originality of her own artistic language. What people find most appealing about Ekaterina’s art that her creative power gives out strong impulse of happiness, positive energy, kindness and joy.                                             
"It is my reward that people experience elation in my work’’, she says, ‘‘When I paint, I feel unconscious. The feelings of my soul surface onto the canvas, uninhibited by my thoughts."

Enriched by esthetic and spiritual experience, allowed her to create original works, which have already took their place in the classical gallery of Russian Art.

Ekaterina Grigoryeva was rated as one of the best selling artists of Russia, after Aivazovskiy and Shemyakin.
