life and work

Carola Heine's father was a woodcarver of saints and nativity scenes.

After graduating from the Simpert-Kraemer-Gymnasium in the Swabian town of Krumbach in 1977, Heine completed an apprenticeship as a wood sculptor , which she completed in 1980 with a journeyman's examination. She then studied art history at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich . Since 1984 she has been working as a freelance artist. She lives in Munich and South Tyrol.

Carola Heine creates sculptures mainly for public spaces or church interiors. She has appeared with modern sacred art since the 2000s . She works with plaster of paris, wood, bronze, aluminum, stone and other materials. A main part of her work is commissioned art for churches, monasteries or chapels.

In an artist competition in 2014 with 80 participants, Heine's design of a sculpture of St. Christopher for the Filsbrücke in Göppingen was awarded. After financial difficulties, the seven-meter-high aluminum sculpture created by Heine could be erected in 2019. In contrast to the usual depictions of Christophorus, the back of the upward stretched figure is not bent.

In May 2017, Bernhard Haßlberger inaugurated Heine's statue of the Patrona Bavariae on the Korbinian Bridge in Freising, Upper Bavaria . It is all black and holds up a golden bird as a sign of peace. Since the Mother of God often had to serve as patroness for acts of war, Carola Heine deliberately did without stately insignia, wrote the Süddeutsche Zeitung. Together with the artist Bruno Wank, Heine had won a competition organized by the “Aktiongemeinschaft Brückenheilige” with the Archdiocese of Munich-Freising and financially supported by the “Exhibition House for Christian Art”. Wank's sculpture depicts Boniface as a man in a rumpled suit.
