Art is language,

is being human,

and peace work.

Anne Elisia Kempmann-Heitfeld

Visual artist.

 

Born in 1957. Lives and works in Markopoulo/Porto Rafti and on the island of Samos, Greece.

 

She has many years of teaching experience in sculpture and ceramic design. A scholarship for a ceramics project in Ghana (West Africa) enabled her to intensively explore traditional building and firing techniques. Today, her material-based artistic practice focuses on the Eggshell series. Using eggshells, pigments, and natural materials, she creates large-format relief paintings that merge painting and sculpture. Light, structure, and the inherent qualities of the material characterize the quiet, multi-layered surfaces of her works. Her works are created in her studios in Aachen and Porto Rafti and are exhibited both nationally and internationally.
