Anne Walbring

Anne Walbring

Anne Walbring is a Brazilian visual artist whose work emerges from a deeply personal and intuitive place. Her artistic journey began in childhood, where drawing became both a refuge and a form of emotional expression. After studying Visual Arts at the University of Fine Arts in São Paulo, Anne developed a unique voice that blends restlessness with tenderness, often giving life to imagined characters who seem to dwell between dream and memory.

Her paintings explore the layers of the human mind and the silent spaces of emotion, often drawing from literature, music, and the subconscious. Inspired by both the poetic and the unsettling, her creative vision is shaped by a constant dialogue between the visible and the invisible — a search for meaning beyond appearances. Recently, Anne has been exploring the intersection between traditional painting and artificial intelligence, using new tools to deepen her exploration of consciousness, identity, and the unknown.

For Anne, art is not just a practice — it is a way of being in the world. Every canvas is a conversation, every brushstroke a question. Her work invites viewers to pause, feel, and remember the parts of themselves they may have forgotten.

Anne Walbring is a Brazilian visual artist recognized for her emotionally charged and dreamlike paintings. A graduate of the University of Fine Arts in São Paulo, her work explores themes of consciousness, identity, and memory through imagined characters and poetic narratives.

She continues to push boundaries by integrating traditional techniques with emerging technologies, establishing herself as one of the bold voices of contemporary art.
