“Whether intertwined, folded, coiled, striped, wildly overgrown, or dotted, the diversity of Maya Fenderl’s intuitively modelled sculptures is refreshingly different.”
— Dr. Sabine Isensee, Maya Fenderl: Exoten, 2026
Translated from the German original. creates ceramic works in which form, surface, and colour enter into a close artistic dialogue. Working with white and black clay, she combines wheel-thrown, extruded, and freely shaped elements to create intuitive compositions.
Vibrant glazes and bold colour contrasts become formative forces within the works. Organic, animal- and plant-like forms give rise to poetic, at times surreal visual worlds situated between nature, the body, and abstraction.
