Smooth, ground, flat, with fine structures, extracted from different geological rock formations – pebbles in rivers are the results of extraordinary physical forces that, over time, have melted, pressed and left traces of grinding different mineral elements. Every single pebble reminds us of the forces of nature that created it.
Karolin Nirschl makes these manifestations of nature the subject of her art. With a microscopically precise look at texture and material structures, she transfers them to paper and canvas, enlarges the view and makes the entire beauty of nature visible. In this way, she sharpens the view of the small, great wonders of nature and at the same time creates works full of contemplative peace that invite you to rest.
