Born in 1963 in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Mechthild lives and works in the Black Forest. From 1983 to 1988, she trained in direct stone carving at the Münsterbauhütte.

In 1994, she continued her studies in sculpture at the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart, under Professors Karl-Henning Seemann and Micha Ullman. Initially influenced by figurative art, since 1997 Mechthild Ehmann has developed an abstract language, combining sensuality and rigor through refined bronze sculptures.

With a classical approach to sculpture and a clear reference to Brancusi and Arp, she belongs to that lineage of discreet yet powerful artists, entirely driven by a timeless passion for form and matter.

In her creative process, opposing qualities converge to form a subtle balance, free from any conventional aesthetic, resulting in a synthesis filled with tension.

Delicately poised on a minimal point of support, her sculptures reveal a subtle mobility and surprise with their lightness.
