Jana Büttner

Jana Büttner is a figurative sculptress from Germany.
Working in Florence and Salzburg.

In her work the main focus is the human figure which she sculpts in clay and casts in Bronze.
For her working with clay shows a connection to human existence based on the circle of growth and decline. Clay starts cracking with time. Often, so do we as people—one day our strong bodies begin to wear and fall apart. She feels a deep connection with this material because it gives her the opportunity to express herself with my bare hands creating something which hasn’t existed before.


She also explores human emotions and contradictions.

She wants to symbolise the internal reflection we as humans are going through. In our daily lives , it’s essential to take a moment for introspection and engage in the art of reflection. Much like a mirror that reveals our external appearance, our internal mirror reflects the depths of our thoughts and emotions.
Internal reflection is a journey into the core of our being, a process where we confront our fears, celebrate our victories, and embrace our vulnerabilities. It’s a mindful exploration of the self, trying polishing the mirror within to gain clarity on our values, aspirations, and the paths we tread.
The mirror within reflects not only our actions but also the ripples of influence we cast on those around us.
In this dance between perception and reality, we find ourselves as conscious architects of the reflections we cast. With taking time to reflect, we gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and become intentional about the impact we have on the world around us.

She wants her artworks to resonate with the viewer and try to act as a mirror. .
