Paula Bastiaansen, born in the Netherlands in 1953, graduated from the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts at the age of 30, after which she began the transformation of bone china in artistic ceramics.

Her work is reduced to complex, light and flexible, so that it feels too rough to touch. The material used is bone china, like an eggshell, as she has repeatedly explored: fragility, weightlessness, transparency, rhythm and movement.

Paula Bastiaansen in the creation

While still at the Royal Academy of Arts, Paula began experimenting with the infinite possibilities of clay, and the manipulation of this difficult material made her feel extremely comfortable. She envisions a three-dimensional, thin, transparent rendering.

She said that "thin, light, transparent, rhythmic, rhythmic" is her consistent creative theme, she has a strong sense of rhythm and pursuit, the surging tension of the waves, the trajectory of the tornado rotation attract her to explore, and use clay as a highly creative material to create her own satisfactory works.

Now that she has been working for nearly forty years, she says it's a very happy thing to use clay to realize my understanding of life. In the future, I will always go on.

Paula Bastiaansen's work is appreciated
