Anne Leyer

I was born 1967 in Germany, but have been living abroad for a long time. After living in Spain for several years, I now work in the inspiring and lively city of Amsterdam, Netherlands.
I have been painting for as long as I can remember. When I work on a painting, I forget the world around me and can completely retreat into my thoughts. Something emerges from these thoughts; the brush is an extension of my being and the canvas is the receptacle.
It is difficult to categorise my work. Abstrakt?
Creating art is a very intimate process that reveals so much about my personality.

Abitur (German university entrance qualification) in Bremen in 1986.
Subsequently trained as a dressmaker, followed by commercial training in Cologne (a complete waste of time).
Studied at the Berlin University of the Arts, GWK, from 1996 to 2000.
