B. 1982 Jena, Germany

Lives and works in Berlin, Germany

Anne Wölk is a Berlin-based painter whose practice explores cosmic topographies and fictional landscapes as projections of memory, desire, and utopian imagination.Her paintings create immersive worlds where the astronomical meets the emotional, and the digital converges with painterly tradition. Drawing on scientific imagery, Romantic notions of the sublime, and the aesthetics of space exploration, Wölk composes layered scenes that flicker between clarity and ambiguity, knowledge and speculation. Radiating star fields, luminous skies, and surreal planetary surfaces open up liminal spaces where human presence remains distant, yet implied.

Beauty, in Wölk’s work, is not merely decorative it operates as a structuring force that reconciles contrasts: light and darkness, nostalgia and futurism, intimacy and the vast unknown. Her process integrates classical techniques with digital references, subtly challenging the boundaries of contemporary landscape painting.

Wölk studied painting at the School of Art and Design Berlin under Prof. Katharina Grosse and Prof. Antje Majewski. During her Bachelor studies, she completed an exchange semester at Chelsea College of Art in London. 

Her works are part of public and private collections across Europe, Asia, and the US, including the Elgiz Museum (Istanbul), CICA Museum (Gimpo), and Casa de Cultura Ericeira (Portugal).
