Leevke Succow

Leevke Succow, born in 1998 and based in Berlin, has been studying sculpture at the Weißensee Academy of Art Berlin since 2021. Her artistic practice centers on ceramic sculpture and alternative photographic printing, shaped by self-reflection and a deep connection to the natural world. Themes of psychology, dreams, and spirituality recur throughout her work, which often embraces natural decay, organic textures, and the quiet beauty found in imperfection and transformation.

In her ceramics, Succow frequently works with mixed media, combining clay with elements such as screen printing or metal. Her pieces, inspired by natural forms, mythology, and personal emotion, translate abstract feelings into tactile sculptural objects. Positioned between art and design, her ceramic works are both expressive and functional.

Photography has played a central role in her life since childhood. Succow treats her photographs as physical objects—altered through hand processes or shaped by natural forces like rust, patina, or the passage of time. Her approach embraces collaboration with these materials, setting things in motion and then surrendering to the unpredictability of the process.

Across all mediums, her work explores cycles of nature, transformation, and the beauty of impermanence. Imperfections, irregularities, and traces of time are not flaws to be erased, but essential elements that imbue each piece with a sense of reality and life.
