Anne S. Luisenbach is a self-taught visual artist from Leipzig (Germany), travelling since a few years, with breaks living in the UK, Ireland and Portugal. Since she can remember she has been drawing. Already as a teenager she's been part in group exhibitions. She continuously refined her skills and continued her education through practical experience and in various seminars with well-known artists. An individual training that enabled her to maintain and further develop her very own visual language. Luisenbach attended a few artist residencies and was part of many exhibitions (solo and group) mainly in Leipzig and Berlin. She is combining different media like acrylic, oil paint, graphite, charcoal and pastel in her work, using line, contrast and structure as her stylistic device. Her art is inspired through experiences, encounters, thoughts and dreams. Luisenbach is fascinated by interactions, her work examines conflicts and relations. It is like forming thoughts into figures and characters, sometimes showing weakness and fear, but meant as a guide for individuell understanding. She holds a diploma in media and publishing and also works remotely as children's book designer for an non-profit association in Leipzig.
Art is her passion. Ever since she can remember she has been drawing, sharing her artistic vision, ideas and skills — her way of freedom. That is where it all begins and ends.
