Katarzyna Miściur

Katarzyn grew up on her parents' farm surrounded by hills, fields and forests, influencing her life and art through a deep and special connection to nature. Importantly, she has found that ceramic materials are most closely associated with nature.

Her favorite technique is slab making, challenging herself by using the thinnest slabs possible, which makes her work light and delicate - but not fragile. She loves the structures and textures she extracts from nature. Up close, you can notice the extraordinary subtle details in her work.

The Danish landscape has a deep connection to water, its patterns, beach clay, beach textures and cold weather conditions - which inspired her new series Cold Horizons.The second major series Katarzyna has created is called Urban Tissue. is a response to the issue of human impact on the natural environment..
