Bernhard Hahsler is a storyteller whose artistic practice gives tangible form to imagination through
clay, bringing it into lived reality. His engagement with the material extends beyond its technical
properties—such as composition and processing—to an ongoing exploration of form itself. With great
passion, he continually tests the limits of what is possible, resulting in complex groups of figures that
testify to his exceptional command of the material. These works are not only technically
accomplished but are also rich in narrative and conceptual depth, inviting reflection and
interpretation.

As the artist himself describes his approach, he understands his practice as a process of continuous
learning. He persistently explores new possibilities in working with clay and porcelain alike, seeking
ever more refined ways to allow his creative objects to unfold their full expressive potential.
