Keiyona C. Stumpf

Keiyona C. Stumpf (b. 1982) is a German artist whose work over the past eight years has primarily focused on ceramics and porcelain. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. Her artistic practice explores the richness of natural forms and the processes that create and transform them. Inspired by organic structures, her work combines familiar elements with an otherworldly strangeness, evoking a sense of beauty and liveliness while delving into deeper emotional layers.

Keiyona has received numerous awards, including the Bavarian Award for Applied Arts (2018), the Art Awards from the County of Augsburg and Art Association Aichach (both 2017), the Exam Award for Outstanding Artistic Achievement from the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich (2011), the BMW Brilliance Art Award in Shenyang, China (2011), and the Fanny Carlita Award from the Fanny Carlita Foundation, Munich (2005). Her projects have been supported by grants such as the Visual Arts Scholarship of the City of Munich (2016) and a residency scholarship from the Alexander Tutsek Foundation at the Pilchuck Glass School in Seattle, USA (2018).

Keiyona’s work has been featured in numerous exhibitions, including at Keramion Frechen, Galleria Antonella Villanova (Firenze), Hengevoss-Duerkop Gallery (Hamburg), Art Association Rosenheim, European Museum for Modern Glass (Coburg), Museum Schloss Fürstenberg, Art Association Hechingen, Art Association Munich, EIGEN + ART Lab (Berlin), Haus der Kunst (Munich), and Galerie Handwerk Munich.

She has also participated in major international art fairs such as Design Miami/Basel, NOMAD St. Moritz, and Art Vienna, among others. Her works are part of notable public and private collections, including the Goetz Collection, with acquisitions through the benefit auction PIN.FOR Art for the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich. In 2021, her porcelain installation was acquired by the Porzellanikon State Museum of Porcelain in Selb, Germany.
