Annette Seedorf is a contemporary writer and painter known for her brilliant and lively artworks (mostly acrylics) and her unique sense of composing harmony and vibrancy. Fascinated by colours, her aim is to illuminate people’s lives. “Colour pigments, you need to have in your genes; if you can only see colours, you can’t feel them!”
Having painted since her childhood, she studied in France where she was inspired by the impressionists but also by the art of her great-grandparents Seedorf – a professor of drawing, transcribing in his expressive charcoal drawings the majestic dignity and beauty of nature, and the watercolour paintings of his wife who masterfully set light reflections as one of the few young women at the beginning of the 20th century allowed to go to the Art Academy.
Annette Seedorf currently lives and works in Vienna, Cape Town, Berlin and Bavaria.
