Veronika Janovec works with clay as a material carrying time. Through repetition, pressure, firing, and glaze, her sculptures move between states—soft and solid, fragile and steadfast.

Her practice follows edges: the point where one thing becomes another. Surfaces fold, crack, thin out, and open. Forms return with slight deviations, revealing change through repetition. Janovec’s sculptures grow from this tension between recurrence and transformation.

Nature enters the work as something observed, remembered, and imagined—never fixed, and increasingly difficult to separate from its image. Reduced to fragments, cavities, and skins, it remains familiar without becoming literal. The sculptures feel less constructed than uncovered: forms shaped by pressure, memory, and time.

She works and lives in Berlin. Her work has been exhibited in Berlin, Düsseldorf, Cologne, Milan, Mexico City and Montreal.
