Miriam Knibbeler creates expressive, contemplative sculptures of humans, animals, and hybrid forms. Her work emerges from a deep sense of connection to life.

Working with classical materials such as bronze and ceramics, as well as more unconventional materials like wax, Knibbeler explores the emotional and symbolic potential of matter itself. Wax, in particular, possesses a unique duality: tactile and physical, yet translucent and ethereal — simultaneously present and absent. This gives her sculptures a distinctive softness, a quiet sensuality and an almost breathing presence.

Through subtle shifts in scale and distortion, she introduces a sense of surrealism that is often felt more than seen. Her sculptures are poetic, intimate, and sensual, exploring themes of transformation and physicality, often with a sense of mysticism.

With her artistic precision and symbolic visual language, Knibbeler positions herself within the classical sculptural tradition, while her approach to form and material lends the work a distinctly contemporary and deeply personal character.
