Anna Jožová
Experimentation is one of the most important approaches in Anna Jožová's work, thanks to which she finds new ways of working with glass. Combined with the conceptual background of most projects, this results in works that are design objects, but the way the artist creates and thinks about them moves them into the realm of free art. Since 2018, Anna Jožová has been creating a series of original vases, always responding to a currently explored theme. Some of these series are therefore partly related to each other, thus shifting the artistic and technological approach to new positions. Her most important creative theme so far is a reflection on the impact of human intervention on the environment, which she addresses, for example, in the Gaia, Keto and Nava series. At the same time, Anna Jožová is able to look back with a certain amount of humour at some moments of our everyday life (the Coquette series, the Lisa vase, Hangover) and in some cases her work is a philosophical meditation on the existence of man and his connection to a certain time and place (the Kairo series, Chrono).

Anna Jožová (*1996) is an artist and designer who works with glass on the border between free art and design. In 2023 she graduated from the Master's programme at the Glass Studio under the supervision of Professor Rony Plesl at the Academy of Arts Architecture and Design in Prague. Between 2016 and 2017, she studied in the Ceramics Design Studio under Antonín Tomášek at the Faculty of Art and Design at Jan Evangelista Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem. Anna has also been interested in ceramics and porcelain since her studies at the Václav Hollar Secondary School of Art in Prague. Since 2018, she has presented her work in many collective exhibitions, fairs and art projects, e.g. at London Design Week, Venice Design Biennial, Czech Grand Design, Glassfest Karlovy Vary, etc., as well as in a solo show at the Kvalitář gallery in Prague. Apart from her own work, she also collaborates with designer Vlastimil Šenkýř, with whom she forms an artistic duo under the name Kombo. She has been consistently working on her own glass art and design, combining different, seemingly disparate materials and classical glass techniques to create new unique objects.
