Mo Cornelisse (Netherlands, 1972) is a contemporary artist known for her sculptural ceramics, which combine architectural precision and organic playfulness. Her work balances between abstraction and recognizable forms and explores how rigidity and imperfection can reinforce each other.
Cornelisse works primarily in porcelain, which she intuitively shapes into three-dimensional objects with a strong graphic character. Characteristic are the clean lines, geometric volumes, and subtle shadows created by light and relief. Despite the fragile material, her sculptures possess a powerful presence and an almost futuristic aesthetic.
In her studio, Cornelisse focuses on constantly testing the boundaries of material, form, and repetition. Her work often evolves from serial experiments in which a small variation unexpectedly leads to an entirely new formal language. This makes each object both unique and clearly part of a larger exploration of space, rhythm, and harmony.
Cornelisse exhibits nationally and internationally, and her work is held in various private collections in Europe and beyond. With her combination of technical mastery and intuitive play, she is considered a remarkable voice in contemporary ceramic sculpture.
