Synopsis

Trained in design and fine arts, Hartmann works from Germany while exhibiting internationally. His creations are sought after by collectors for their powerful presence and ability to merge cultural archetypes with contemporary form. 

For Hartmann, every object is an artifact. He treats design as a way of reconnecting with ancestral memory and forgotten stories. 

  • Mythical resonance: objects as carriers of ancient symbolism. 

  • Ritual presence: works designed to be experienced as sacred encounters. 

  • Contemporary archetypes: timeless forms rooted in culture yet reinterpreted today. 

His work employs stone, bronze, wood and ceramic, often hand-shaped to reveal raw tactility. Surfaces are textured, aged or patinated, reinforcing the sense that his objects are fragments from another era.
