Gundi Dietz

Gundi Dietz is a ceramics artist who studied in ceramics and sculpture and focused on creating porcelain figures. Her works are predominantly, female figures that express universal human emotions and existential conflicts.

"It takes sensibility to hone in on the inner picture. The material is seductive and technical problems loom large. I have to go into a meditative and concentrated state to stop my visions from running amok. From the variety of my ideas the sculpture was reduced to its essence. This reduction of form, motion and color is central to my work...It is always a challenge to find the right balance between sensitive and strong, light and dark, soft and hard, smooth and rough."

According to Dietz, she works out a basic form that she then casts, models and reworks. She draws, scratches, scribes, designs with colors, glazes and usually fires her work twice. Her work has been exhibited in many different places all over countries.
