Born near the sea in Rennes, Brittany, Anne has cultivated an artistic practice that reflects the rhythm of tides, landscapes, and human connection. Trained in Munich and Berlin, she works across drawing, painting, and eco-conscious printmaking techniques such as woodcut, linoleum, Tetrapak, and recycled polystyrene engraving. Her work often explores paradoxes — movement within stillness, the tension between appearance and being, and the bonds we form across time, space, and cultures.

For the past five years, Anne has developed Nomad Art, an ongoing artistic journey that brings her practice into dialogue with new cultures and communities. From Bali to Berlin, from Porto to Brittany, she has used printmaking and drawing as portable tools of exchange, teaching sustainable techniques to children, teenagers, and adults, and creating works that can travel easily across borders. Central to this project is the idea of rencontre — the meeting — whether between people, environments, or distant geographies.

Her Namibian residency marks the newest chapter of this journey. Over five weeks, she immersed herself in the country’s landscapes and textures, producing a series of Nouvelles Graphiques — graphic narratives that capture her encounters here. These will later be compiled into a publication upon her return to France.

The exhibition presents around twenty A3 ink drawings, suspended delicately on lines with clips, inviting visitors to experience them as fragments of a journey, floating between sea and desert, Brittany and Namibia. A small selection of prints complements the works, reinforcing the dialogue between permanence and movement.

What connects Brittany and Namibia, though oceans apart, is the Atlantic itself — its salt, its currents, its vast immensity. This exhibition reflects that shared horizon, a symbolic thread linking two worlds that, while distinct, are bound by the same waters.

Nomadic Art – La Bretagne and Namibia Meet is more than an exhibition — it is an encounter. It invites visitors to enter into conversation, to reflect on shared connections, and to experience art as a bridge between cultures.
