Elisa
Braem
Elisa Braem is a sculptor that primarily works with ceramics. The artist finds in the sedimentary nature of the clay a beautiful analogy that takes her to space-time notions as well as it allows to explore ideas related to the history of cultures. The use of such an organic material with such a great amount of traceability enables her to incorporate concepts that relate to sustainability and the impact of human activities in the environment. The artist approaches ceramics from a conceptual perspective by which she combines the technical possibilities the medium with a poetic almost anthropological dimension. Through her work Braem negotiates artistically the reality that surrounds her and investigates questions that point to her fascination for human relations with the environment.
