Katharina Kaminski
Born Montevideo, uruguay, 1994
a Paris based artist born in Uruguay, Kaminski works in sculpture and installations. approaching her art practice as an exploration of the subconscious, kaminski’s work asks fundamental questions about who we are, contemplating what it means to have Both spirit and a body, a metaphysical existence in a physical world. Seeking to understand the origin of all life and the universality of human experience, kaminski employs a sculptural vocabulary that celebrates that dialectic of spirituality and embodiment, gravitates towards strangeness in form, and draws upon surrealism and abstraction to help us see the familiar anew. Following her intuition and the hidden language of dreams, Kaminski sculpts and molds against the norm imposed by reason and logic to find what lies beneath the apparent order of things
Kaminski works in ceramic, marble, and bronze, varying in scale and form. Interested in unexpected and shifting perspectives, her work employs elements of the zoomorphic, the amorphous, the alien, and the meteoric. A number of her sculptures integrate fire, giving this primordial element a container and a form within the body. Inspired by sanctuaries and with the intention of creating a sheltered space for emotion, Kaminski’s installations are composed with clay, space, sound, silence, light, and darkness. Her work invites us to moments of inner contemplation, to create our own sacred rituals that engender expansiveness and unity with both the seen and unseen world
