Annette Nolte is a German-born abstract painter based in Essen, in the Ruhr area. She studied Fine Arts at the University of Essen and the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf and is also a trained yoga and meditation teacher. This dual background shapes her artistic practice, where both art and yoga serve as pathways to self-exploration and awareness.

Guided by intuition, feeling, and colour, Nolte’s paintings transcend the limits of rational thought to embrace the expansiveness of the present moment. None of her works are preconceived; instead, the creative process requires her to repeatedly let go of initial ideas in favour of what emerges from within. Her body of work spans a wide spectrum of colours and expressions, inviting viewers to open themselves, to resonate emotionally, and to connect more deeply with their own inner being.
