Ilka Raupach's artistic works emerge from the tension between culture and nature. She sees them as an attempt at orientation, an experience and exploration of the natural space with all senses, and ultimately as an investigation of the relationship between humans and nature. She is particularly fascinated and inspired by the ice and snow-covered countries and the Brazilian rainforest.
Ilka Raupach was born in Hennigsdorf in 1976.
She trained as an ivory carver and master in Michelstadt as well as in Uummannaq and Ilulissat, Greenland. She studied Art/Free Sculpture at the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design Halle and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bergen, Norway, graduating with a diploma in 2005. From 2009 to 2019, she was an artistic/scientific assistant at the Institute for Architecture-Related Art at the TU Braunschweig.
