KPM & Stefan Szczesny ATRIUM

The Royal Porcelain Manufactory and Stefan Szczesny are bringing the Côte d’Azur to Berlin with a strictly limited artist’s edition. Eleven hand-painted, one-of-a-kind Atrium vases were created through this collaboration between the artist and the Royal Porcelain Manufactory. For the artist, spontaneity and speed are what make the creative process authentic. It is precisely this immediacy that suggests a fluid materiality. “For me, KPM stands for historical greatness and uncompromising quality. I am fascinated by the combination of hardness and delicacy in porcelain, and its pure white reminds me of light. It allows me to bring my drawings to life in a particularly direct and vibrant way.” As a painter, sculptor, and draftsman, his subjects are expressive forms and colors—such as stylized flowers, Mediterranean fruits, and beautiful female figures. “My aim is to freely depict vitality and a celebration of life.” During his guest residency at the KPM Berlin Meistermalerei, Szczesny transferred this spirit to the porcelain icons of KPM Berlin.
