PEPI ERDBORIES

Pepi Erdbories, born in 1991, is a German contemporary artist who began her career as an illustrator, successfully collaborating on projects with renowned luxury brands. Today, Erdbories‘ works represent an interplay of colors and words, a dance of abstraction and poetry that stimulates the senses and challenges thoughts — always with the goal of creating space for connections, identification, and exchange.

In 2023, as the first German artist, she crafted a one-of-one bag for FENDI, earning a permanent place in the fashion house’s archive. Following this milestone, she achieved success with a solo exhibition at Guy Hepner in New York, followed by additional exhibitions in Munich, Paris and Hamburg. Her artworks grace private collections worldwide.

Pepi Erdbories‘ creations extend beyond the canvas, inviting viewers into a realm where emotions, dreams, and reality converge, fostering a profound resonance.

„In my works, a diverse range of moods and themes are explored. From romance to melancholy to humor, they reflect the spectrum of human emotions and the polarity in which we live. The magic unfolds in collaboration with the viewer, who brings their own story, dreams, and experiences. A space emerges where various energies converge, connect, and engage in exchange. Each painting invites identification, allowing the observer to rediscover themselves in a unique combination of emotions, dreams, and reality – where everything exists at the same time.“

In 2024 Erdbories introduced her Love Letter Sculpture series, an exploration of love, passion, longing, and loss. This series, which debuted with a sold-out collection, merges the timelessness of sculpture with the nostalgia of handwritten correspondence. Initially inspired by love letters drawn on real envelopes, Erdbories expanded her artistic vision into three-dimensional forms, turning these expressions of personal connection into lasting works of art.

Each sculpture in the Love Letter series is hand-sculpted from clay, embodying permanence and emotional depth. Erdbories carefully selects meaningful quotes – ranging from classic poetry to her own crafted phrases – and inscribes them onto her pieces, evoking universal feelings of love, memory, and vulnerability.

The Love Letter series reimagines the power of handwritten notes in a digital age. Each piece is a poetic testament to the enduring beauty of human connection, offering a timeless reminder of the emotions that shape our lives.
