Description
The three-part series Canang Sari was created during my artist residency in Bali in 2026.
The starting point for these works is my exploration of traditional Balinese offerings, known as Canang Sari. In Balinese Hinduism, these are made daily from palm leaves, flowers and other natural materials and are presented as an expression of gratitude, devotion and the connection between humans, nature and the spiritual world.
I was particularly fascinated by the transience of this ritual act: the offerings are crafted with great care, even though they are not intended to last. They are laid down, left to natural processes, and recreated the very next day. Their value therefore lies less in their material permanence than in the act of creation and offering itself.
Following extensive research into their cultural significance and formal language, I developed three abstract works in which I draw on the basic geometric forms of the circle, line and rectangle, translating them into my own artistic visual language.
The materials used are also directly linked to the place of creation. The works consist of locally collected Balinese earth pigments and indigo from Bali. I prepare and process the natural pigments by hand.
The series explores the tension between transience and preservation, between a fleeting action and the material trace it leaves behind.
Canang Sari I–III form part of a series of works and can be purchased individually or as a set. If you are interested in all three works, please do contact me in advance.
The work has been mounted in a professional framing studio and fitted with a high-quality walnut shadow-line frame. It is delivered fully framed and includes a certificate of authenticity. The signature and hanging mechanism are located on the reverse.
Processing time
At least 4 days.

“I am interested in how landscape preserves traces of time, memory and change.”
Current
2026 – Umah Terang Art Residency, Bali
2026 – Villa Lena Foundation Residency, Tuscany
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.
