Etiyé Dimma Poulsen - The Silent Pulse of Nature and Soul
Etiyé Dimma Poulsen expands her artistic language. While her ceramic sculptures are known worldwide for their archetypal, silent human figures, she now returns to one of her original sources: the landscape. Not as a romantic scene, but as an inner landscape, a space of memory, movement, and resonance.
Her new works on wooden panels are layered, raw, and intuitively built. Using pigments and an angle grinder, she brings the surface of the landscape to life. The paint doesn’t simply sit on the wood, it settles into it, like a living organism that grows, breathes, and transforms. The result is a tactile and visual dialogue between earth and spirit, between control and surrender.
There is a quiet invitation to stillness within these landscapes. The colours vibrate not loudly, but as a gentle hum, a subtle melody that draws the viewer into a meditative state. These are not traditional landscapes, but poetic fields where memory, nature, and inner stillness converge.
Alongside these works, Poulsen presents a series on gold leaf: five intimate pieces in which human figures dance through an ethereal, weightless space. The gold reflects not only light, but also a spiritual essence deeply rooted in her practice. These figures are free from gravity and time, moving in harmony, in a visual ode to freedom and lightness of being.
During our visit to her studio, this sense of harmony was unmistakable. The music playing, the rhythm of her gestures, even the simplicity of her kitchen, all spoke of a life close to the essence. It was not just an artistic meeting, but a sensory experience in which art, silence, and simplicity came together in balance.
Poulsen’s work moves between the earthly and the ethereal, the visible and the felt. Whether she works in clay, pigment, or gold, her strength lies in transforming material into emotion. What she shows is not just what she sees, but what she senses, a universal language of connection, freedom, and beauty.
