Vita

Ihre Reisen durch Europa, den Nahen Osten, Afrika, Asien, Nord-und  Südamerika und in die Polarregionen dienen als verkörperte Forschung, Nach ihrem Studium der Malerei an der Hochschule für Künste Bremen und der Akademie der Bildenden Künste München arbeitet sie als freischaffende Künstlerin und entwickelte ein multidisziplinäres künstlerisches Werk, das Objekte, Malerei, Ready-Mades und materialbasierte Prozesse umfasst. Im Zentrum ihrer künstlerischen Arbeit steht momentan die fortlaufende Werkserie Objects of Essence – verdichtete, kontemplative Arbeiten, die gelebte Erfahrungen und innere Übergänge verkörpern. Casmina arbeitet mit essentiellen, elementaren Materialien wie Gold, Platin, Palladium, mineralischen Pigmenten, Erden und Sanden, um Werke von unbestechlicher Reduktion und stiller Intensität zu schaffen. Ihre Arbeiten werden in ausgewählten internationalen Kontexten präsentiert und richten sich an Kunstsammler und Institutionen, die Tiefe, Präsenz und eine zeitlose Resonanz jenseits von Trends schätzen.
