Artist
From Bavaria, Germany
Based in Lisbon, Portugal
Annina is a multi-media artist whose work includes paintings, drawings, video, performance, and installation. One of many themes of her works is the interest in the aesthetics of color (based on Goethe) and the way it can evoke and impact human emotions. She is also intrigued by such binary oppositions as dream and reality or the visible and invisible

AN: There is no such phrase for me.
