Katja Paulina ist a German-Colombian ceramicist based in Berlin. She began working with clay in 2017 in a small studio in Hamburg and has been exploring the material ever since. 

With a background in film and television, she approaches ceramics as a form of storytelling. In her home studio in Berlin, she creates handmade ceramic objects both on the pottery wheel and with hand-building techniques.

The name vargasvargas comes from her Colombian family name. It reflects her cultural roots, a connection to traditional craftsmanship, and a sense of magical realism.
