About Me

Introduction

Hi, I’m Caroline Krabbe. Born in Denmark and living in Spain since 1981.

 

What I Love about Ceramics

The magic of the clay.

How I started with ceramics

During Corona lockdown.

What inspires me

My drawings gives me inspiration to the clay and vice versa.

What I'm working on at the moment

…I will tell you more about this very soon

My Artist Statement

My ceramic is inspired by my drawings, and my drawings gain a completely new perspective through the clay … I find that both mediums are strongly related and continually communicate with each other. My work is sculptural and not functional. Behind all my work there is a deep interest in visual narratives, and working both with clay and drawings are my way of telling stories. My thoughts communicate with the material, which takes shape when it is built by hand. The process requires concentration, patience, and confidence. It is a very mental attitude. My goal is to “boost” my work, with new forms and materials, therefore, I constantly explore the medium, without fear, I just do it. Exploring, experimenting, and trying new ideas is what motivates me.
