Annelies Danielle Schubert (Santiago, Chile, 1995) has been living in Paris since 2014. She graduated from Paris College of Art in 2018 with a BFA in Fine Arts and has since been developing her multidisciplinary artistic practice, with her studio being currently located in Jaurès — within the 19th arrondissement of Paris.
Since 2020, she has been teaching printmaking courses at Paris College of Art, where she has also held the positions of Printmaking Technician and Fine Arts Coordinator since 2021. Alongside her academic work, Annelies leads linocut workshops for children, youth, and adults in various settings, including summer programs, team-building events, creative collaborations in cafés and shops, as well as gallery interventions.

Annelies Danielle Schubert’s artistic practice is driven by a desire to understand the connection between her inner world and the world around her. Her memories, dreams, daily life, and the spaces she inhabits deeply inform her work. Her pieces function as visual narratives, capturing the essence of memories, familiarity, and human connections—like stories told by herself or others—where the ordinary is elevated to reveal its beauty and deeper meaning.
Through printmaking, collage, and mixed-media techniques, she reflects on the fluid and fragmented nature of recollection—how moments are remembered, reconstructed, or forgotten over time. She reconfigures traces of past creations, transforming discarded elements into new compositions that carry the echoes of what came before. Her compositions embrace both structure and chance, allowing intuition to guide the reconstruction of fragments into harmonious narratives.
Schubert's work often engages with themes of presence and absence, using layering, transparency, and erasure as visual metaphors for the instability of memory. Whether through the ghostly overlapping of prints, the quiet affirmation of mirrored text, or the delicate stitching of salvaged paper strips, her process highlights the ephemeral nature of experience and the quiet beauty found in the margins of daily life. The beauty of stillness and its ability to evoke a sense of grounding is a recurring theme in her work. She is also drawn to the seemingly mundane and the hidden beauty found in the monotony of daily routines. Through her visual narratives, she hopes to encourage others to observe more deeply, inspiring a sense of rootedness in the quiet and simplicity of present moments.
Drawing inspiration from both personal and universal histories, her works are not direct representations but rather impressions—abstracted glimpses that invite viewers to project their own associations and emotions. The spaces she creates are fluid, shifting between the known and the unknown, the past and the present, the tangible and the intangible. By capturing what lingers—the traces of color, the echoes of form, the spaces left behind—her work invites contemplation on the ways we hold onto and reinterpret memory, finding significance in the quiet, unseen details that shape our experiences.
Her studio is now located at Gens Jaurès, a shared space managed by Plateau Urbain in Paris 19th — If you'd be interested in visiting, just send me a quick message below, I’d be more than happy to welcome you to l’atelier!
