Janina Myronova (Poland/Ukraine) is a ceramic sculptor who creates narrative through figurative forms and composed backdrops. Utilizing a specific and distorted representation of the body, each composition shows a different personality and personal story to collectively reference a graphic novel and arcing story. Imparting her own emotion through linework, Myronova’s works are strategically charged with color to saturate and amplify their individual stories.
Born and raised in the Ukraine and living now in Poland, Myronova has been enjoying the artist-in-residence life since completing her PhD studies in 2019. Her self-described “chubby, anatomically misshapen” forms have been handbuilt in Taiwan, South Korea, Denmark, France, Turkey, China, and Poland, with each culture making a mark on Myronova and the stories she wants to tell.
Janina Myronova received her MFA at the Lviv National Academy of Fine Arts (Lviv, Ukraine) in 2012, an MFA at the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Fine Arts and Design (Wroclaw, Poland) in 2013, and her PhD at the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Fine Arts and Design (Wroclaw, Poland) in 2019. Continually developing her work and practice, she has attended numerous residencies including opportunities at Northern Clay Center (Minneapolis, USA); Archie Bray Foundation (Helena, USA); New Taipei Yingge Ceramics Musesm (New Taipei, Taiwan); Clayarch Gimhae Musem (Gimhae-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea); Lefebvre and Fils (Paris, France); International Ceramic Research Center (Guldagergaard, Denmark); International Ceramics Studio (Kecskemet, Hungary).
