Description
The works Blütenlese I & II were created in 2026 during my artist residency in Bali and form part of my ongoing series Traces, in which I explore the material traces of landscape, memory and change.
The starting point for both works was a direct encounter with the surfaces of my surroundings. Using modelling clay, I recorded the structures and textures of various surfaces directly on site. The resulting impressions were then coloured and transferred as individual printing blocks onto Hahnemühle paper.
Through repeated printing and the development of subtle colour gradients, compositions emerge in which the original surface structures gradually change, become denser or dissolve.
The natural indigo pigments from Bali and the ink used combine the physically recorded traces with a distinct painterly dimension.
At the heart of this is the question of how the character of a place can be captured through direct physical contact and translated into a new visual language. The works oscillate between imprint and abstraction, between the concrete experience of a place and the memory of it.
Blütenlese I & II form part of the ongoing series Traces and can be purchased individually or together. If you are interested in both works, please feel free to contact me in advance.
The works have been professionally framed using high-quality wenge wood and UV70 museum-grade glass.
The signature is on the reverse. A certificate of authenticity is included.

“I am interested in how landscape preserves traces of time, memory and change.”

Her artistic practice operates at the intersection of landscape, material and perception. Through painting, photography and site-specific works, she explores processes of change, memory and transience.
Her work often takes its starting point from observations of nature. She is less interested in depicting a specific landscape than in the question of how time, movement and transformation can become visible on material surfaces.
Depending on the work, she works with pigments, natural materials, drawing elements or photographic fragments. Through layering, compacting, peeling away and superimposing, she creates pictorial spaces reminiscent of geological processes, sediments or atmospheric conditions.
Shaped by her studies in architecture as well as training in bodywork, breathwork and psychodynamics, Lardschneider combines different perspectives on space, perception and human experience.
At the heart of her work lies the question of how landscapes store traces of time, memory and change – and how these processes become visible in material surfaces.
In 2013, Vicky Anna Lardschneider completed a foundation course in art, specialising in classical drawing and painting, at the Akthof School of Fine Art in Munich. She then studied architecture at the Leopold Franzens University of Innsbruck, graduating with a Bachelor of Science.
In 2017–2018, she furthered her artistic training on the Continuing Studies Programme in Fine Art at Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver, Canada.
Her work is also shaped by her training in yoga, breathwork, art therapy and psychotherapy. The interplay of different disciplines and forms of perception continues to form an important foundation of her artistic practice to this day.
