Collection of Works

Based in Berlin, Alva Jung is a sculptor and multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the tension between stillness and struggle, intimacy and abstraction. With a background in architecture and formative experiences at the studios of Herzog & de Meuron and Olafur Eliasson, her work draws from spatial thinking, material sensitivity, and a deep engagement with light, body, and human interactions.

A turning point came in Carrara, Italy, where she encountered marble not as a monument to permanence, but as something deeply sensual, wounded, and alive. There, she began carving — translating the contours of the female nude into abstract, weight-bearing forms.

Her work is a meditation on slowness and human touch, but also on pain and the quiet endurance required to overcome it. Whether through sculpture, painting, or process-led experimentations, her pieces reveal a restrained emotional depth — always returning to the body as both a source of human presence and strength.
