Dubniczay Palace
In her pioneering pursuit, Julia Néma has been researching and collecting local minerals, rocks and clays for years to create her sculptural and functional ceramics.

In her wood-fired kiln, she uses the rich geological heritage of the Lake Balaton Uplands to recreate millions of years of volcanic processes, resulting in unique colours and surfaces. Ceramic and porcelain objects, cleanly shaped sculptures and panel paintings built from the landscape reveal the beauty of nature from the deep layers.

The works and the exhibition, organised in the framework of the Veszprém-Balaton European Capital of Culture 2023, were supported by the House of Arts Veszprém Balaton EYE residency programme, the Hungarian Academy of Arts, the Bakony-Balaton UNESCO Global Geopark and the EU-Japan Fest Japan Committee.
