Katri Paunu (b. 1993) is a sculptor whose work is based on ceramics as a material and process. Paunu’s work is centered on the hand molding methos of clay and the combination of sculpture, painting, and spatial elements in her works. She is intrigued by the way in which the ontological – the nature of being – and the organic are expressed in forms, structures, and space.
Paunu studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy of Fine Arts in the Netherlands and at the National Academy of Fine Arts in Oslo, where she graduated with the Master of Arts degree in 2021. She has participated in exhibitions in Finland, Netherlands, Denmark, and Norway, including a solo exhibition at the Rauma Art Museum in 2023. In 2025, Paunu will be working at EKWC, a ceramics residency in the Netherlands. Paunu lives and works in Rauma.
