(born 1994) lives and works in Munich and on Lake Chiemsee.

“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.
