Katharina Kaminski is an Uruguayan artist born in 1994 and currently based in Paris.

Kaminski works in clay sculptures and makes installations using fire inside her forms, approaching her creative practice as an exploration of her subconscious and the creative act itself.

Embracing creativity as a way of allowing an abstract and visceral space to the experiences the artist lives and the emotions she feels, Kaminski likes to think of art as a way of setting the subconscious free, and also connecting with something else, a creative power that she feels beyond herself: ‘When I look at my sculptures, I see deep subtleties that resonate within and at the same time I have the feeling of being encountering someone for the first time.’ - Katharina Kaminski

The sculptor mostly works without sketching and her sculptures, like beings, with their alternative corporealities, present themselves to her through an intendedly mindless and autodidact creative ritual which fortify the artist’s passion for the mystical aspects of life and creation.

Her first solo exhibition ‘Womb’, whose title refers to the female reproductive organ which the artist was not born with, aims to question the limits of fertility, revolving around the myth of creation and the forces of nature that make human beings creators, a theme that has accompanied the artist over the years. ‘Womb’ portrays the artist reclaiming her ability to ‘give life’.

For the ‘Womb’ exhibition, Kaminski presents her first work in bronze and marble and uses the element of fire as a medium inside her clay sculptures, giving the fire light a container and a form within the bodies she sculpts. Inspired by sanctuaries and with the intention of creating a sheltered space for emotion, Kaminski’s installation composed with clay, space, sound, silence, light and darkness, resemble the mysticism and sacredness of spiritual rituals and invite a moment of outer and inner contemplation.
