Taming function for artistic pursuits
- • Karin creates visual ceramic artworks
- • She works on aesthetics and function
- • She is an internationally-renowned ceramic artist
Born in Wuppertal and trained in Germany, Italy and England, Karin Putsch-Grassi lives in Tuscany, where she founded her studio. Karin combines in her work the various cultural contributions she has assimilated over the years in a very personal, original way. She is inspired by what surrounds us, landscapes and nature, shapes and lines, and also by what is inside us, such as moods and emotions. “All of reality and of daily life are moments in which concepts and ideas can be born.” Karin evolves in two parallel creative circles with her work. On the one hand, she explores aesthetic research and functionality of objects such as vessels, and, on the other hand, she carries out artistic and expressive research. This gave rise to her Figulinae series, which is currently at the centre of her work.
