Carolina Cortella is an Argentinian artist whose collection of handcrafted ceramic sculptures and lighting reflects a deeply personal exploration of design and material.
Her modern, abstract pieces draw influence from the forms and textures of nature and architecture, elevated by her desire to transform spaces with objects that transcend time. Through clay, she prints her unconscious into tangible forms, embedding history and emotion into each piece.
With a background in film directing, Carolina brings a cinematic perspective to her work, using photography to study structures, landscapes, and the interplay of light and space. These visual explorations shape her ceramics, where experimentation and intuition guide the transformation of clay into striking, sculptural forms. The versatile nature of clay allows her to push creative boundaries while remaining attuned to its delicate balance of fragility and strength.
Carolina’s artistic journey spans continents, from her upbringing in the vibrant city of Buenos Aires to a decade immersed in Los Angeles’ creative energy, and now to the tranquil coastal town of Mill Valley in the Bay Area, where she lives and works.
