Janina Myronova

Janina Myronova is a Ukranian 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, Janina’s works are strategically charged with color to saturate and amplify their individual stories. 

Janina 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 Museum (New Taipei, Taiwan); Clayarch Gimhae Museum (Gimhae-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea); Lefebvre and Fils (Paris, France); International Ceramic Research Center (Guldagergaard, Denmark); International Ceramics Studio (Kecskemet, Hungary).
