Biography
Koegler was born in Bogotá, Colombia where she attended a German high school, and continued her business education in Germany - where she completed her degree of International Business. Her interest in the arts has always been very pronounced throughout her life.
Currently she lives in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA where she has been mastering, since 2017, the sculpting techniques in clay at her studio after teaching herself with many trials and errors on how to read the lines of the body. Presently, as she keeps up with her work, she is also a sculpting instructor at the Boca Raton Art School in Boca Raton, FL, USA.
Koegler’s work is impactful and has been on display at the Boca Raton Art School, where she won an award for one of her fist sculpture “Warrior I ”. Her work has connected with the audience in many ways, and the versatility of the artist's sculptures invites the observer to discover the philosophical expression of a moment in time. The artist's work captures an intimate, raw, meaningful, and emotional connection with the model for each viewer to interpret.
Meticulously created, the intricate composition of muscles, symmetry and precise proportions are realistically reflected while provoking subtle expressive insight into a moment of someone's life. The final touch, the patina, is deeply thought through in a way that not just the tone of the color but also the texture has to be the final element to give life to the piece. Her work is completed with the delicate final touch where the sculpture's identity creates a life of its own where it allows the viewer to connect with the art piece in a harmonic way.
For the artist, life is all about perspective, and art showcases these aspects as a connection to someone's life. With each sculpture containing a memory only waiting to be remembered again.
