About the artist:

Anni Heuchel, born in 1990 in East Germany, is a self-taught artist who believes that the essence of a great body of work lies more in its content than in its technique.

She observes that modern art often prioritizes vanity and superficial elements, such as neon tubes, to craft pieces that are deemed spirited and valuable—an approach she actively avoids.

Anni pursued studies in philosophy, sociology, art history, and cultural anthropology in Potsdam and Berlin. Currently, her artistic exploration centers on questions of human identity, often expressed through portraits. She also finds inspiration in surrealistic, densely layered, and vibrant settings. Her interests include punk rock as a mindset, sexual identity, feminism, and morality, which frequently inform her work.
