Klara Kristalova

Klara Kristalova (born 1967) is a sculptor, who works predominantly in ceramics and stoneware.

She employs a deliberately imperfect Meissen porcelain technique, working in a similar fashion but with larger forms and figures.

Kristalova is known for her ceramic sculptures that have a fantastical quality while exploring darker narratives.

[2] Traditional myths, fairy tales, and other literary sources such as Hans Christian Andersen, Selma Lagerlöf, Gösta Berling, old DC comics, and Oscar Wilde serve as an inspiration to her work.

By using these works and adding her own twist, Kristalova explores memory, trauma, and the lost territory of childhood.
