Anna Zachariades, born in Munich in 1990, now lives and works in Berlin, where she completed her studies at the Kunsthochschule Berlin Weißensee in Fine arts with a focus on Sculpture summer 2026.

A deep understanding of materials and their relationship to one another is a strength that Anna displays in her practice, where she frequently combines blown glass and stone or metal. The tensions present in her works are expertly curated, not only playing with hard and soft, but force, connection and contrast – themes that surpass the realm of sculpture and become commentaries on our social environments. Zachariades creates works that sit in a liminal space between pain and pleasure, such as in her work ‘Fatigue’ (2023), featuring an aluminum cast pillow adorned with rose-thorn shaped spikes. The beauty of the object, and its hostile construction are mirrored in other works, such as ‘Interlace’ (2025), where stone and glass are bound together by metal wire that digs into the materials like flesh, narrowing the gap between the viewer and the art. This is where Anna Zachariades succeeds in bringing life to otherwise static materials.

Zachariades has shown her work at the Edvard-Munch-Haus, Kunsthalle am Hamburger Platz, Galerie Gegen & Lücke, and Galerie Monika Ruppert, among others.
