Katrien van der Schueren is a Los Angeles-based sculptural artist celebrated for her ability to transform raw, rugged materials—wood, metal, plaster, and bio-resin—into poetic, feminine forms. Her multidisciplinary work spans sculpture, lighting, and large-scale murals, merging geometric precision with tactile softness to create site-specific installations that are both monumental and deeply expressive.

​

Guided by a deep reverence for the inherent beauty of raw materials, van der Schueren explores the tension between structure and vulnerability. Her practice is defined by pronounced geometric shapes, abstract expressionist lines, and richly textured surfaces. From contemporary abstractions to works that feel unearthed from ancient ziggurats, her art often embraces a soft style of brutalism—bold and rough-hewn, yet warm and lyrical. 

​

Her architectural interventions—temple-worthy doors, walls, and columns—grace luxury residences from Beverly Hills to the Hamptons. With echoes of tribal and ancient techniques, her work pushes the boundaries of scale, texture, and emotional resonance. Whether cast in clay, sculpted in plaster, or forged in metal, each piece invites touch, contemplation, and a deep sensory connection.
