Tinne Debruijne comes from a long line of artists. Her great-grandfather was a Gobelin tapestry weaver, her grandfather was a portrait painter, and her mother is a textile designer. At the age of 5, Tinne got lost in the hallways of the art academy in Antwerp while visiting her mother. She was eventually found in the pottery class, fascinated by all the students working with this magic substance called clay. At that moment she knew what she wanted to do for the rest of her life. Tinne works mainly with paper porcelain and designs her own colour palettes with high quality ceramic pigments. Her approach to work is very intuitive, letting herself be guided by forms inspired by natural elements and living organisms, which often results in creations that are both sensual and abstract.
