Collection: Annina Roescheisen

Annina Roescheisen (*1982 in Rosenheim) is a German-Slovenian artist who lives and works in New York. Her practice centers on painting and drawing, expanded by sculpture, installation, photography, video, and performance. Her works move at the transitions between the visible and invisible, dream and reality, material and spiritual. Roescheisen understands color not only as a pictorial medium but as a carrier of energy, resonance, and perception. Based on religious iconography, literature, nature mysticism, and philosophical traditions, she develops visual spaces that address existential questions about consciousness, transformation, and the experience of reality.

Characteristic of her working method is an intuitive, physically influenced process. With self-developed mixtures of pigments and minerals, she creates multi-layered surfaces in which gestures, material, and time remain inscribed. The performative dimension of creation is an essential component of her artistic approach. In works and work series such as Vibrational Strings or Flying Dragons, Roescheisen connects metaphysical questions with mathematical and symbolic orders and examines the relationships between the perceptible and the hidden world.

Roescheisen's works have been shown internationally in Europe and the USA. Her exhibitions include presentations in New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, and Berlin, as well as participation in the 56th Venice Biennale and the Salon Berlin at the Museum Frieder Burda. Furthermore, she was active for several years as a performer in Xavier Veilhan's and Éliane Radigue's long-term project Systema Occam. Her works are in public and private collections, including the Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.) and the Zentral- und Landesbibliothek Berlin.
