Karin
Hilmer was born and raised in
Germany.
She
graduated with a degree in Art History from the State University
of New York (SUNY
Purchase) and completed her knowledge in numerous post-graduate
studies.
Already early in life she began experimenting with collages
which later extended to her photographic process. Her photographs
represent a new reality, maybe “surreality”, shaped
by a lifelong interest in philosophy, history, art, invention,
music and science. Her images have been said to “combine
the avant-garde with the historic, have a deep intellectual reference,
are enigmatic and humorous, mysterious and original, combine Renaissance
and technology, genetics and Botticelli.”
Her work has been
shown internationally in museums and galleries, with solo exhibitions
in Germany, France and the United States. Karin’s work
can be found in numerous private collections throughout the world.

Artist
Statement
My
photographs are still life composites. Found objects are
positioned on a theatrical stage that I create and are then
juxtaposed with other elements to form a visual dialogue.
In these fabricated scenes I explore and integrate opposite
forces such as reality versus illusion, light and shade,
pictorial depth as opposed to flattened surfaces, painterly
aspects contrasted with photographic techniques. In my current
body of work, the thematic content is largely drawn from
Renaissance science, philosophy, invention, music and then
connected to our present time.
