Even if Karin Lutz's path to art was not an academic one, it was very straightforward and consistent. It all started with a passion, the creative shaping in clay, which was soon accompanied by courses with masters of this subject. Nude drawings and portraiture were soon added as basic techniques, also supported by established artists. Even at this time her most important topic was the female figure, which she mainly performed as a full body nude or as a facial portrait.
