Karen Verlinden, a Belgian ceramic artist, creates unique sculptures that bring together craftsmanship, simplicity, and the interplay of light and shadow. Her work reflects the influence of her graphic background, rooted in her family’s generations long printing business. Textures, paper, and her refined use of white in compositions subtly reference this past and serve as an inspiration for her ceramic art.

Her fascination with the tactile and tangible qualities of materials began with paper the soft textures, delicate thickness, and the contrast between light and shadow. This ability to appreciate the beauty of simplicity forms the foundation of her sculptures, where ceramics and the inherent character of the material take center stage. In her creative process, Karen continually explores the boundaries of clay and paper, playing with their possibilities and limitations.
