Carolin Rechberg is an interdisciplinary Fine Artist born in Starnberg, Germany, whose creative process spans a wide array of mediums, including ceramics, painting, sculpture, poetry, photography, and sound art. Her approach emphasizes a multi-sensory experience, where the act of creation itself holds as much significance as the finished piece. Rechberg’s practice is rooted in intuition, presence, and dialogue with the materials she works with. For her, art is a living process, evolving from a state of engagement and observation. She values the insights generated through this process, allowing them to influence her way of life. Rechberg’s work often remains in a state of creation, inviting the viewer to participate and interpret meaning on their own terms. This openness to interpretation reflects her belief that art should be experienced rather than explained, with each encounter offering something new and personal.
Here is the artist’s interview.
- What is your creative process like?
I focus on sensing, on arriving in the moment, in presence, in the space. Gathering and organizing the materials I instinctively want to work with. Then I allow my intuition to guide the creation of the artwork. In a dialogue between engaging and observing, until the work dictates that it is finished, and that it is time to let it rest and to move onto the next work. - Do any personal experiences shape your work?
The artworks are an iteration of my being, so everything that I experience and the evolution of my soul, my spirit, my conscience, and influence the aesthetic of the work. - What challenges do you face as an artist?
I admit, the modern world with all of its online presence, social media and technology, is a challenge for me. And while I will need to re-emerge in that realm, I prefer to retreat to my studio practice and intentionally choose to focus on the process of simply creating my artwork. - What do you want people to feel when they see your art?
I am fascinated when the ideas within my work translate, while I don’t want to constrain and determine what people should feel or see. As I often purposely choose to let the artwork remain suspended in a state of creation, this provides a space for imagination and interpretation, as I enjoy when the artwork develops and assumes meaning uniquely to the beholder. While the titles usually signify an intention, the work itself is intended to live as unique entities assuming what is felt through the energies, environment and viewers participation.
Carolin Rechberg’s work embodies a delicate balance between intuition, creativity, and personal evolution. By allowing her art to remain in a state of perpetual creation, she invites viewers to engage with her pieces in their own way. For Rechberg, the journey of creation remains as vital as the artwork itself.
