Exhibition: UNFOLDING by Anna Zender

Anna Zender stellt im Kunstraum Heartspace ihre Porträtmalerei aus. Die Arbeiten entstanden während einer Phase persönlicher Veränderungen und spiegeln den Übergang zwischen Stillstand und Aufbruch wider. Die Malerin nutzt eine Palette von lediglich sechs Farben. Die Bilder verzichten auf klare Erklärungen und setzen stattdessen auf Andeutungen. Die Ausstellung lädt dazu ein, innezuhalten. Die kontemplative Stimmung der Werke soll Raum für die eigene emotionale Auseinandersetzung bieten.

Vernissage 30.10. 18:00 - 21:00 Regular Opening Hours 31.10. 17:00 - 20:00 01.11. 11:00 - 14:00 The atmospheric portraits by artist Anna Zender open up a space where individuals can encounter their inner emotional world with openness, and (re)discover the quiet, creative qualities within themselves. Using a restrained palette of just six colors, the paintings suggest rather than explain, and invite rather than provoke. The works in this exhibition do not follow a predetermined theme; instead, they serve as waypoints along a single year—a year in which much changed for the artist all at once: a new city, a new artistic direction, and, in December, the birth of her first child. In this sense, a specific quality emerges as the underlying theme: constant change. A transition from the familiar into the unknown, from a state of waiting into a process of becoming. The exhibition invites viewers to pause for a moment and sense how, in that very stillness, time and space begin to unfold. About Anna Zender "At the heart of my art lies a longing to translate atmosphere and emotion into painting. My fascination with feminine nature and beauty—in all their diversity—serves as a major source of inspiration, while music acts as my primary driving force." Anna Zender first encountered portrait painting during her industrial design studies at the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design in Halle (Saale). In 2020, she independently organized and hosted her first solo art exhibition, laying the foundation for her career as a freelance artist. This was followed by two further major exhibitions, each of which she documented through a short film. Driven by the vision of pursuing art as her true calling, Anna’s journey took her from Halle to Berlin and eventually back to her home region. Born in 1997 in St. Wendel, Saarland, she opened "Galerie 32" in 2023—a space that, until 2026, serves as a combined studio, workshop venue, and exhibition gallery. This year, ...
