Celina J. August (b. Celina Schumm, 1996, Germany) is a multidisciplinary artist currently based in London and Berlin. Her body of work consists of paintings, sculpture and tattooing, guided by an intuitive, material-driven process.

In both ceramics and painting, the piece evolves on its own, telling her what it wants to become. It’s about both removing and adding, allowing the creation to emerge naturally and create biomorphic forms. Her works resemble otherworldly forms and shapes and are based on a continuous exploration, which are influenced by different places.

Having lived across Europe and Latin America, August’s frequent moves have shaped her practice and style. The themes of transformation and the unknown are central to her work, serving as a reminder that every captured moment is part of a larger, interconnected experience.
