get to know the artist
Jeiann Reiter also known as Ann Reiter, is a bright,
up and coming self-taught German-Filipino abstract
artist. Born in Cagayan De Oro City, Philippines. She
now resides in Devon, England.
She has amassed an impressive
international following of admirers on social media
where she finds inspiration and support.
Her medium, however,
is far removed from the digital
world of manipulated images.
She paints bold, active
brush strokes, strategic uses of palette knives, sponges,
and all kinds of art materials on small to large canvases.
Her art is dynamic and raw.
​
After discovering how the mere change of a few brush
strokes could dramatically alter the emotions conveyed
by watercolour and oil art mediums,
she found her
freedom in acrylic and abstraction. She has evolved to
create a less representational visual language.
Anonymous, sometimes obscured, express her personal
reality filtered through feeling.
​
In her recent paintings she has made a more or less complete retreat from representation. Reflecting her energy and state of mind when painting, colour will take precedence over shape, departing from the distraction of realism.

"Tapping into my creativity gave me clarity -- although my personality is revealed through my art, I do not wish to force an interpretation upon my audience.
Another thing I'd like to add is that many of us don't like the feeling of buying something that's mass-produced, so by doing my own original art and only offering in limited edition, I can bring you unique and out of the ordinary wall art that stands out from the mass productions while maintaining the feeling of exclusivity." - Ann
"Colour that expresses radiance of the heart, that gives an outward form to the mystery of vision, that links earth and sun, the ideal and the real."
- Paul Cezanne
"My inspiration comes from all around me throughout the daily random encounters and the expression of my creation process. I try to show the soul of each piece in colour, various shapes, and textures. My paintings are created mainly intuitively, each stroke and colour choice is informed both consciously and unconsciously, leaving room for chance but are also the result of a meticulous work process. The process is revealed through acrylic gestural strokes and weird elements, creating depth and richness as the layers build."
