Artist
Lisa Sandner
Lisa is a self-taught artist and ceramicist. She is currently based in Münster, Germany, where she slowly and thoughtfully works on hand-made objects. Her pieces are not at all about perfection but about catching the beauty in a trace from the past and imagining a story that could have been. Lisa was brought up in Africa and now travels the world to make new discoveries that inspire her creations.
Usually, her work is born by chance. It can be sparked by the beauty of an old tile in a hallway or a faded painting on a wooden chest. Curious by how they were made and where they came from, she researches and tries to feel their time and universe. It is in this spirit that she makes her collections, to understand and possibly recreate the beauty she has seen. Without taking notes or looking at her sketches, she then starts to paint, working solely from the feeling and the images she memorized.
"I feel more like a storyteller transporting images, not like a creator. Every image has already been there before, all I do is recognize its beauty and make something from there.“ - Lisa Sandner
