About, Biography & Intent

Latika Nehra Gross (b.1991, Jaipur, India) is a visual artist and sculptor, working predominantly in ceramics. Her work is concerned with the dialectics of nature: the natural and the artificial, the given and the created, and their recurrent topological interweaving which, so often hidden by normative connotations, blurs the boundaries of a false dichotomy.

Through her practice, she examines the transformative shift from the physical to the digital, revealing a cyclical interplay that reshapes both realms through mutual influence. This perspective is both personal and professional, tracing her journey from designing digital interfaces to embracing traditional hand-building techniques.

Constructing her sculptures within imaginative frameworks in the manner of science fiction, Latika reflects on technology’s evolving impact on our physiology, cognition, and sense of self, while also examining the desires and limitations that shape these environments. In an increasingly virtual world, she seeks to reaffirm the value of the tangible, enhancing haptic experience through form, texture, and arranged interactions. Her disciplined practice of creation references the archetypal act of creation itself; life, with its emergence, persistence, and transformation, pushing ever further the expressive capacities of clay and offering a vision of sculpture as both a material meditation and a space for speculation.

Latika lives and works in Berlin, frequently traveling to India to engage with traditional crafts and contribute to their evolving contemporary discourse. She holds a degree in Visual Design from the National Institute of Design (Ahmedabad, India) and a Master of Arts in Design from Anhalt University (Dessau, Germany).
