Scorpion is a UNIQUE CERAMIC SCULPTURE that is a highlight of Kaminski’s Womb series. composed of candlelight and clay, scorpion is an elemental sanctuary where bodies dance around a fire in a ritual sacrifice. The synthesis of light, heat, and sound produce a unique sensory experience, evoking a tribal dance. Scorpion beckons to us in its hypnotic stillness, drawing us closer despite the sense of danger. Like all the works in the womb series, scorpion questions the limits of fertility and ponders the myth of creation. It invites us to consider the beauty of the violence that is inherent in creation, whether there something sublime in the risk, pain, and destruction that comes with birthing a new life, a new idea, a new form

Scorpion asks daring questions about what it is to make something and how we might be transformed and transfigured by the intensity of creative birth. In addition to being an ode to strength and the inner capacity within us, Scorpion proposes looking at embodiment as an act of endurance, reminding us of our ability to withstand physically, emotionally, and spiritually through the innate human drive to create

Katharina Kaminski is emerging as one of the exciting new talents in the Parisian creative scene. For our series “Une fille, Un style,” the Uruguayan artist opened the doors of her Parisian apartment, which also serves as her studio. The space, with its clean lines and minimal furnishings, is designed like a blank canvas, allowing the artist to let her subconscious speak through her highly recognizable works, imagined as a reflection on the concept of fertility beyond its purely biological aspect

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
