Artist Ju Schnee (b. 1992, AT) highlights her intuition as a constant, guiding her creative decisions and shaping the organic forms in her work. At the same time, her curiosity drives her to experiment with emerging technologies, like augmented reality. These two elements - intuition and innovation - merge to create a dialogue in her art that reflects both tradition and modernity. In a rapidly advancing digital era, Schnee remains grounded in a practice that honors the essence of painting while continuously expanding its possibilities through Augmented Reality.

With a Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts from the University of Applied Sciences in Graz, Schnee draws upon a rigorous academic background, yet transcends traditional frameworks by merging oil painting with augmented reality (AR)—an approach that redefines the viewer’s interaction with fine art. Schnee is a celebrated contemporary artist with a strong international presence. Highlights of her recent exhibitions include a solo show at Berlin’s Better Go South in July 2024, participation in the prestigious KIAF Art Fair in Seoul in 2022, and a standout presentation at the ESTAMPA Art Fair in Madrid in October 2023. Her work has been featured in venues like Vienna Youth Contemporary and MeetFrida at Berlin’s Gallery Weekend, showcasing her dynamic vision and broad appeal across global art markets.
