Artistic Practice:
“I approach my work not conceptually but physically — more like a sculptor, exploring form and material step by step.”
​Approach and Focus
My work explores the tension between geometry, materiality, and perception — both visual and tactile. I create geometric wall-based works that shift between surface and space, clarity and movement, questioning the fragile boundary between real and imaginary.
​What interests me is not representation, but resonance: how a piece can subtly shift perception, create stillness, or evoke a sensory response.
​
​​​Process and Material
At the heart of my practice lies a slow, craft-based process. Like a sculptor, I shape my work step by step, assembling reduced geometric forms from materials such as steel, leather, concrete, wood, and gypsum. The resulting compositions rest quietly, yet remain open to transformation and new perception.
​​
Experience and Intention
Through a refined formal language and materiality, I seek to create spaces where stillness can be felt and curiosity awakened — inviting lingering, sensing, and discovery beyond words. In this reduction to essentials, a quiet strength and elegance emerge, to be felt rather than explained.​​

Ph: Allan Benigno Machado
Background & Education
Miriam Loellmann (b. 1985, Southern Germany) is a visual artist based in Rio de Janeiro with a background in Textile and Surface Design. From 2008 to 2013, she studied at the Weißensee School of Art in Berlin, where she was deeply influenced by Japanese guest professor Masayo Ave, who emphasized the importance of sensory perception — especially the sense of touch.
​​
Turning Point: Rio de Janeiro
In late 2013, six months after graduating, Loellmann relocated to Rio de Janeiro — a move that proved pivotal to the formation of her artistic practice. Immersed in a new cultural and material environment, she began to refine her independent studio work, embracing experimentation and laying the foundations of her professional career.
​
Artistic Practice
Loellmann creates clear, serene, and tactile wall pieces that explore the space between two and three dimensions, the visible and the imagined, the material and the felt. Using geometric forms and contrasting materials, she invites a sensory experience that unfolds slowly — not to be intellectually decoded, but quietly perceived. Her process is meditative, precise, and rooted in craftsmanship.
​
Exhibitions
Her work has been exhibited exclusively in Brazil, including solo presentations at leading art and design fairs such as IDA/ArtRio (Rio de Janeiro) and MADE (São Paulo), as well as a group exhibition at the Centro Cultural Correios in Rio de Janeiro.
