Klara Lilja, DK

In Klara Lilja’s fantastical worldbuilding, abstract biomorphic forms are transformed in an organic genesis of imaginative beings, flora, and fauna.

Klara Lilja (b. in 1989), lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark. She holds a MFA from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Visual Arts and a BFA from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Visual Arts.

Carnivorous rafflesia flowers, broken branches, crusted and crackled star suns emerge, while ripe pink pea pods split open, and clusters of fruits and strange growths seem to radiate from within. These otherworldly ceramics, enveloped in mesmerizing glazes, channel history, science and popular culture through Lilja’s eclectic visual language and personal experience.
