Anna Beller

German

1984

Anna Beller is a German artist whose multidisciplinary practice bridges experimental painting and digital art, informed by a background in architecture. Using both analog and digital tools, she explores color, transparency, and structure to investigate the evolving relationship between human intention and machine precision.

Full Bio

Anna Beller was born in 1984 in Berlin, Germany, and is currently based in Hanover. She studied architecture at TU Berlin, earning both a B.Sc. and M.Sc. between 2008 and 2011. After nearly a decade working as an architect in Switzerland, the UK, and Germany, she returned to her artistic roots, studying at the Academy of Painting Berlin from 2019 to 2022. Since then, she has pursued a multidisciplinary practice in experimental painting and digital art, and in 2024 became a member of the Association of Visual Artists in Hanover (BBK).

Her work explores color relationships, transparency, and the interplay between repetition and spontaneity. She employs techniques such as soak stain and lacquer, often drawing on her architectural background to introduce structure and minimalism. More recently, she has used digital tools such as the pen-plotter to investigate the dialogue between human and machine in artmaking. Highlights of her exhibitions include FEMGEN in Marfa’s Glitch Gallery, NODE TO NODE: Art Salon Paris with Kate Vass Gallery, and the solo show Zufall und Maschine at Haus der Region in Hannover in 2025.

In Draftwerk, Campos and Beller collaborated by merging generative algorithms with physical painting techniques. Campos developed custom software to generate vector-based compositions, which Beller then interpreted through manual processes like taping and spray painting. The project explores the dialogue between logic and intuition, highlighting the interplay of digital structure and human expression.
