In my multidisciplinary practice, I show natural structures, patterns and movements from a micro and macro perspective. I am interested in how light falls on a surface and alters it.
​
The first years of my life in Chile shaped me in many ways. Nature, culture, mindset, water and the warmth of the sun formed the basis of my work. Through my education I started to think and play between space and color. I found my visual language, based on past emotions and thoughts aswell as my background in philosophy and psychology.
With acrylic I create abstract and organic paintings. Digital photographs and videos enable me to reveal the unexpected moment. Many underwater pictures are taken while diving. The fragile and impermanent nature of earth, water and air inspire me. Sometimes I work with editing filters, effects and print my photos on textile to add a haptic quality and third dimension.
​My aim is to address different levels of perception so that viewers can discover the feeling of completeness within themselves. An essential question that I am researching is how far can art function as a form of well-being.
"My mission is to bring awareness into the self through the wide spectrum of art that connects us all in some way.
Helping others to find peace, joy, happiness in their everyday life."
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 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 at school. Since then, she has built up her own digital photo archive with thousands of images, which she continues to use and expand.
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 topics into her practice. Since 2017 Gojak has been living and working from her studio in Berlin-Kreuzberg.
