Smooth, polished, flat, with fine structures, detached from different geological rock formations – pebbles in rivers are the result of extraordinary physical forces that have melted and pressed different mineral elements over time and left behind traces of grinding. Each individual 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 eye for texture and material structures, she transfers them to paper and canvas, enlarges the view and visualises the full beauty of nature. In this way, she sharpens our view of the small, great wonders of nature and at the same time creates works full of contemplative calm that invite us to linger.
