Marea Hildebrand (b. 1989) is a Zurich-based ceramic artist whose practice explores the quiet dialogue between material, process, and form. Trained in Fine Arts and Transdisciplinary Studies at the Zurich University of the Arts, she creates hand-built ceramic vessels using the traditional coil technique, developing monumental works distinguished by richly layered surfaces achieved through multiple firings, painting, and rhythmic etching. Embracing the beauty of imperfection and transience, her work draws inspiration from Japanese and Korean aesthetics, Abstract Art, and the philosophy of wabi-sabi, creating contemplative pieces that evoke stillness, presence, and a deep connection to natural materials.
