Katrin Adler’s journey into art began with a profound inquiry into identity and purpose. Initially rooted in a structured, design-oriented approach, she transitioned into a more spontaneous and intuitive creative practice, embracing the motto "Just Yay" as a commitment to doing what truly brings joy. Her work, crafted from repurposed design remnants, explores themes of sustainability, multi-layered complexity, and diversity. The deliberate layering in her collages – where certain elements are foregrounded while others recede – reflects both the material reuse that redefines the value of what might otherwise be discarded and her personal experience of navigating multiple roles in life. Ultimately, her art stands as a testament to the balance between intuition and structure, celebrating contrasts in color, material, and form.

Katrin Adler was born in 1976 and works and lives in Bremen, Germany.
