Born 1985 in Haarby, Denmark.
Lives and works in Copenhagen.
Maria Rubinke graduated from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Schools of Architecture, Design and Conservation, Department of Ceramics in Bornholm, Denmark (2008).
Maria Rubinke first became noticed for her oftentimes cruel works in white porcelain and graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Arts – School of Architecture, Design and Conservation, Glass and Ceramics (2008). Today, Rubinke works primarily with bronze and marble, in which she lets the incomprehensible and chaotic in our subconscious emerge in her surreal characters. The characters are often based on fairytales, but always with Rubinke’s characteristic twist.
Maria Rubinke is behind several commissions, including the monumental bronze door for Restaurant Alchemist, a four meter tall polar bear in white marble in Horsens harbour and most recently for AP Pension in Nordhavn.
Maria Rubinke has had solo exhibitions at Kastrupgaardsamlingen, Bornholm Art Museum, and Vejle Art Museum, as well as been part of group exhibitions in both Europe and North America. Her works can be found in both private and public collections, including EMMA Espoo Museum of Modern Art, Finland; Haugar Vestfold Museum, Norway; Vejle Art Museum, Denmark; CLAY – Museum of Ceramic Art, Denmark and Bornholm Art Museum.
