Marita Vollborn

Marita Vollborn is a German sculptor and digital artist who works primarily with clay, bronze, and digital media, bringing a background in investigative journalism and life under East German censorship to her art. Her expressive, figurative style combines hand-formed clay, paper clay, and bronze casting, marked by intuitive, raw surfaces that lay bare the complexities of strength, fragility, power, and guilt. She channels personal and political histories into powerful works that provoke deep critical reflection and emotional honesty, urging viewers to confront human vulnerability, societal contradictions, and the urgency of hope amid oppression.
