Pia Kintrup

Pia Kintrup, a German artist, graduated at Folkwang University of Arts in Germany with a Bachelor of Arts Degree, specifically in photography. She then went to study M.A. Photography studies and practice in the same university in 2017, graduating with a Master of Arts. She has been awarded the 2019 13th International Arte Laguna Prize, winner of special prize, “Photolux Festival” in Venice, Italy and the 2019 Excellence Award, International Artist Award at Art Next Expo in Hong Kong. She has held countless exhibitions around Europe, and also a few in Asia, Canada and the USA.

In her work, she’s highly interested in still life, materiality, and surface character. Transformational processes, value, emptiness and abundance, and photographic steps of transition are essential for her artwork. Kintrup uses the medium of photography to transform the three- into the two dimensional and, therefore, to fix a particular perspective. Besides her groundwork in photography, she’s working with installations and sculptures as well.
