Hanna Malinen is a Finnish ceramic artist and designer based in Berlin. Her practice is grounded in stoneware’s tactility, which she shapes into sculptural forms that retain everyday function. Exploring themes of duality, particularly the eternal dynamic between light and shadow, she draws inspiration from the cyclical nature of death and rebirth. Her work delves into the emotional spectrum of the human experience - holding the tension between what is seen and what is felt, what is used and what is simply observed. Embracing the raw textures of the material, she crafts unique, hand-built objects that evoke both ancient ritual and contemporary minimalism.
