Introducing: Valentina Jaffé


Portrait of the artist Valentina Jaffé in front of a black background.

Valentina Jaffé explores the interplay between materiality, temporality, and illusion in her art. Her works—ranging from collages and paintings to large-scale installations—translate fluid states into visual compositions. Reflections, layering, and translucency are central elements that engage with the ever-changing nature of space. Jaffé combines various media and materials, such as delicate tissue paper that unfolds freely in the room or ceramic structures that seemingly defy gravity. Through her artistic interventions, she creates a dynamic tension between control and chance, order and dissolution—a poetic exploration of transformation.


At ato, the artist is represented by Carolin Heel.

Alicja Schindler briefly disappeared and got lost — in the trendy world of ceramics. Why everything right now seems to revolve around the potter’s wheel, what making ceramics has to do with care work, and whether the material is actually magical — she set out to find answers to all of that for us. And she didn’t even take a pottery class.
