Portrait of the artist Maria-Luise Bodirsky

Maria-Luise Bodirsky

Born in 1952, sculptor and ceramist

It is the basic elements of earth, water, fire and air that the sculptor and ceramist Maria-Luise Bodirsky, born in 1952, combines in her sculptures and the working process. Clay is her elementary artistic means when capturing, tracing and depicting the inner and outer conditions of her figures.

Bodirsky draws inspiration for her archaic-looking figures from the early history of mankind such as Egyptian high culture, Greek mythology and the Old Testament, or from modern literature for example of Pablo Neruda.
