Anne Barlinckhoff (b. 1989) is a visual artist of half Dutch, half unknown DNA. Currently living and working between Europe and Africa, creating photographs, fine art prints, and visual stories. She graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. A quasi-nomadic childhood characterized her upbringing, as she grew up in an orphanage and foster homes and lived in various places across the Netherlands and (South) Africa.

She draws her inspiration to connect people, no matter their stories or background—bringing them together. Anne Barlinckhoff's work serves as a visual narrative, inspired by her nomadic upbringing and diverse cultural exposures. Her works transcend geographical boundaries, offering a profound reflection of both her personal journey and a broader exploration of the human experience. She works instinctively, projecting emotional intent into the viewer's realm of imagination. Her work emphasizes the universal language of human emotion, resilience, belonging, identity, and culture, with a focus on the beauty found in light and form. Anne Barlinckhoff often approaches strangers who catch her eye, whether online or on the street, and then establishes relationships with them, cultivating the mutual trust that is crucial for her art.
