Jana Büttner is a figurative sculptor who focuses on sculpting from life from her studios in Salzburg and Florence. Jana was born in Salzburg, Austria in 1997 and has what she describes as three half siblings. Her mother Petra, an art teacher is from Prague and her father Uwe is from Dortmund. She grew up in an artistic and musical family, learning violin and piano, and visiting museums and galleries around Europe. From 2008-2012 Jana studied at he Musisches Gymnasium Salzburg where she was exposed to music, dancing, literature and fine art. After graduating she decided to spend a year in New Zealand which helped her clarify her career goals. When she was 19 she was accepted at the prestigious Florence Academy of Art where she spent three years studying under multiple instructors including the founder of the sculpting program Robert Boden. Jana has won numerous awards and shown in exhibitions and permanent collections around Europe and the US, including “Face 2021,“ Society of Portrait Sculptors, La Galleria Pall Mall London, the Espaco Exhibitionista Gallery, Lisbon Portugal, and the Figurativas in Barcelona. She says her goal is it to provoke emotions and encourage empathy in the viewer. The viewer should be engaged by the work, so they can identify themselves within it.
