Katrien van der Schueren is a Los Angeles-based sculptural artist whose practice explores the transformation of raw materials into expressive architectural forms. Working across sculpture, lighting, and large-scale murals, she brings together geometric structure and tactile surfaces to create works that are both monumental and sensorial.
Using materials such as wood, metal, plaster, and bio-resin, van der Schueren develops pieces that evoke a quiet dialogue between materiality and space. Her architectural interventions — doors, walls, and columns — appear as sculptural presences within interiors, merging contemporary design with echoes of ancient and tribal techniques.
Through a process rooted in handcraft and experimentation, her work explores texture, scale, and emotional resonance, inviting a tactile and contemplative engagement with the built environment.
