Born in Munich in 1966 to Austrian parents, Angelika Kienberger grew up there in Germany’s beloved southern metropolis of art. Thanks to her art-loving mother, who had started collecting artworks in the 50’s when she was working in a gallery, Angelika Kienberger came at an early age into contact with original works of art, especially sculptures, which her mother had brought to her home from Salzburg. This sparked Angelika Kienberger’s own enthusiasm, especially for three-dimensional art.

After finishing high school Angelika Kienberger attended the technical college for wood carving in Munich, her teachers were A. Krottenthaler and F. Nickel. After graduating in 1991, she became a freelance artist, moved to the countryside and founded the ‘Künstlerhaus Emersacker’ near Augsburg with her husband and painter Michael Daum.

Since 1994 she began exhibiting her work all over Germany. In the meantime her artworks are featured at exhibitions in other European countries (such as ‚Incontro e abbraccio nella scultura del Novecento da Rodin a Mitoraj‘ Padua, ‘FACE 2023’ London or The MEAM Hall: 7th edition Barcelona) and increasingly worldwide via online galleries such as Singulart, Saatchi Art, Artmajeur, and Ars Mundi.

Angelika Kienberger is a member of the ‘BBK Augsburg und Schwaben Nord’ and a member of ‘MKG Münchener Künstlergenossenschaft.

The formal criteria of her work—regardless of the diversity of materials—are unity and simplicity of form, liveliness arising from calmness, from only hinted movement. Many of her works represent her search for balance in our modern world.

The decision for a specific topic results from strong, personal experience. This experience can be entirely spontaneous, visual, or emotional, but it can also be consciously brought about through identification with a particular topic. Through condensation by means of artistic representation, this experience should be comprehensible to the viewer. Every part of reality can become a topic for her, but Angelika has an intense relation to the human body, so her main topics are couples and women. Her figurative way of sculpting is due to her claim of being easily understood by the viewer.
