Working with acrylic and watercolor, Anke Neufing creates mixed media paintings that combine collage techniques, gold leaf, and epoxy resin. Her work is characterized by vibrant colors and a dynamic, textured surface, reflecting the playful energy of her self-described “Happy Painting” style. Drawing from childhood imagination, animal figures, and a spirit of spontaneity, Neufing’s compositions seek to evoke a sense of wonder and optimism. A self-taught artist, she invites viewers to reconnect with instinctive joy and creative freedom through her expressive, contemporary approach.
