Verena Waffek is an artist who would be inadequately described as a illustrator. Her artistic process knows no genre boundaries. One thing leads to another and at the end there are often installations of the most diverse objects, which fit together in an atmospherically dense way. The artist loves organizing and arranging. Her sceneries are sometimes reminiscent of museums of cultural history over which time has passed, then again of stage sets that are still waiting to be performed. There is always a delicate melancholy about Verena Waffek's settings, as if their very existence is at risk. Verena Waffek also runs a children's and youth atelier in Nuremberg, the Atelier im Galeriehaus Defet. This is a place to sharpen the senses, to address the mind and emotions at the same time, and to encourage fun, curious learning.
