About

Vanni, formerly known as Vanessa Wendland, is a self-taught abstract artist based in Mallorca, Spain. Her work explores the interplay of colour, form, and emotion through intuitive abstract painting. Influenced by her surroundings and personal experiences, Vanni’s paintings are a fusion of fluidity and spontaneity, often inspired by the vibrant hues and textures of Mallorca.

Her artistic journey began in Berlin, where she first discovered her passion for painting at a young age. She transitioned from a career in equine science to fully commit herself to art, refining her craft over the past seven years. Vanni’s work is represented by Greenhouse Interiors in Australia and featured in private collections around the globe.

 

Vanni’s paintings are an exploration of spontaneity and emotional resonance. Using acrylics on linen, she creates layered compositions that evolve naturally, reflecting her journey to overcome perfectionism and embrace the unexpected. Her work is an invitation to both herself and the viewer to rediscover the freedom and joy found in the creative process, encouraging a playful and liberated perspective on art and life.
