Biography
Adrianne Gojak was born in Chile and has Argentinian-Croatian roots. She lived in Viña del Mar until the age of nine and moved to Germany with her family in 2001. In 2013 Gojak completed her Bachelor of Arts in Business Management for Tourism, Hotel and Events at EMBA and Mittweida University of Applied Sciences in Hamburg. Since 2015, she has worked as a set and visual designer for national and international, commercial and editorial projects in the film and fashion industry. With that, Gojak developed a deep understanding for visual and color theory as well as spatial thinking. She learned how to work with surface and color distribution, and expand her expertise in material and space.
Adrianne Gojak began painting and taking photographs in her youth and excelled in art lessons. Since then she has built up an ever expanding digital archive with thousands of her own photos.
The potentials of the unlimited field of visual art, combined with topics from courses she took in psychology and philosophy, have led her to include these into her practice. Since 2017 Gojak has been living and working from her studio in Berlin.

Artist statement, 2026
My work focuses on surface structures and texture. I am interested in fragile, fluid states within natural elements.
The first years of my life in Chile shaped my sensitivity to nature in many ways – the sound and shape of ocean waves, the warmth and playful shades of sunlight and the soft fluidity of sand.
With digital photography and video, I capture surfaces altered by light, wind, and water from a macro perspective. In painting, I use acrylic to create organic forms that show a minimal, microscopic composition.
I investigate my flow state as part of my process, translating photographic, video, and painted works into installations and sculptures. Using wood, foam, textiles, and acrylic glass, I build dimension and depth to make the surfaces and structures more haptical.
