Kerstin Pricken

Culinary Artist · Artistry Director of Gastronomy

Kerstin Pricken is a culinary artist and founder of VECETO, a global studio established in 2024. The practice sits at the convergence of art, design, sensory immersion, and gastronomy.

It begins at night. A vision arrives whole. Not a menu, not a table, but a world. What the room already holds. What material could complete it. How it might dissolve by morning.

Shaped by a background in Nordic interior design and sensory therapy, Pricken's work treats food as a sculptural medium with structural integrity, the capacity to occupy three-dimensional space, and the power to disappear. Each commission is conceived as a site-specific installation that does not replace a space but fulfils it. Choreographed, singular, designed to leave only memory.

Guided by a single principle, Radical Elegance, every installation exists once. Conceived for a specific space, a specific moment, a specific circle. When the last element is consumed, the work is complete. What remains is only memory.

This process, Sensory Excavation, translates natural atmospheres into high-end physical realities through edible scenography and tactile materiality. Every element is both object and offering. Art that can be touched. Art that can be eaten.

Commissions are accepted on a selective basis for cultural institutions, luxury brands, and private collectors globally, across New York, London, Paris, Milan, Singapore, Sydney and Queenstown.
