Carin Grudda is an international artist who was born in 1953 in Gudensberg near Kassel (West Germany). Attending the international exhibition “Documenta” is passionate about art and in 1972 she decided to study Art History and Philosophy at the University of Gießen (West Germany).
Until the beginning of nineties, Grudda works in Frankfurt am Main as freelancer. Her subjects are identified in the “games” and “playful structures”; her works are based on “tracks” and “tracking/feelings” (Spur and spüren).
In 1991 Grudda won a scolarship to Miami at the South Florida Art Center, + “Zero Art”. Thanks to this experience, her works are geared toward big forms of “a group painting”, images, which consist of independent parts of different sizes that are then combined in a single subject.
In 1992, during a scholarship for artistic drawing sponsored by Saxoni in Lipsia, Grudda learned the etching technique that she adapts and continues to develop today in a personal way: the dry point. To create her works she is inspired by “trace” of his work space. Her subjects become “subject of street” as if they were a translation of the condition of itself over time.
In 1993 Grudda moves to Ingelheim on the Rhine river where she creates the Blaubilder, cycles of big works that she decides to change by cutting them into pieces of different size.
Over the years the artist creates her paintings on different surfaces. Actually she paints on wooden surfaces of objects she found before, with their own history, that she changes and assembles adding as many and different.
In 1998 she met the roman foundryman Caporrella where in his foundry she will create subsequently many bronze sculptures whose subjects will range from natural series of small snails to monumental Blau Miau.
As a result of increasingly numerous and important works in bronze in Italy, Grudda decides to move to Liguria where she still lives. In Tuscany and in Rome, she learns all the tecniques  related to the processing of bronze. She meets and works with international artists like Daniel Spoerri, Luciano Castello, Nunzio, Arman e Tommaso Cascella.
The artistic career of Carin Grudda receives an international recognition with the selection for the LIV Biennal of Venice in 2011.
