Anna Maram Strob’s work explore translucency as a perceptual field. Her paintings and poems questioned the nature, materiality, language and perception of the boundaries and tasks of art.
iridescent // irisierend
it is
along the arrow-fast lines
clarity and presence.
it is
silent and majestic
to be resonant with the landscape and to resonate through it.
it is
pure knowledge
unfolding what is inherent
fluid.
it is
a series of surprising solutions
with which we change each other
in exchange
and it leaves you and me unadulterated
such a transformation
without losing ourselves.

‚iridescent‘ is a meditation on a trance-like movement, a shimmering interplay between presence and the self.
serenity // gelassenheit
did you hear the mirror?
see the echo?
smell the shadow?
entangled in oblivion
it is not easy to touch each other.
even the distant truths indiscriminately including everything
from the most intimate thoughts to the distant stars.
to calmly
emerge from the paralysing numbness
as if the distress
had risen from the heaviness
and now flutters somewhere loosely on a branch.

’serenity‘ is an ode to the living connections that endure even in an increasingly divided world.
magnetism // magnetismus
I writhe…
something within me resists
your strangely beautiful song
which sprouts beneath the heavy plumage
growing in the tender throat
and you…do not let up.
I writhe…
something resists within me
this clear song
your song that awakens me
and I hold you close through the fear
and you…do not let up.
I writhe…
something resists within me
your bitter surf
that assails me dissolving the numbness
you seize me
and you…do not let up.
…so here we are bound to one another
by the treasures
of experience
memory
and possibility.
…and also the untenable
the laid-aside and forgotten
in the pendulum
between
…surrender and light

‚magnetism’ celebrates the moment of acknowledging all worlds, with all their shadows and all their light.
allowancing // das 3.
to understand
it is always the third
the connecting
that closes the circle.
the third
formed out of grace
in the beauty of play
from the source of pure pleasure
no weight bears the world.
the wait
the waiting as vastness
not tense
not expecting
perhaps a waiting of senses
without a goal.
stretching of unintentional calm and sharing hands
trusting
the depths of our guts
consecrate us
into an ancient crying and laughing.
into the space of grace
that connects
in order to understand.
official visualizer, May 2024
‘allowancing’ explores beauty and fragility, preserving both the beautiful and the broken with grace and dignity – at its core, it is imbued with love.
dealing with sorrow // wie ein stehendes bild
ike a static image
in the mirror of flesh and time
spreading madness in its dark
undeniable existence.
misleading coding systems
threatening
in their seemingly unattainable hatred
in the theft of freedom.
dull and fatal
striking the old wounds
again and again
which in turn tear new ones
absurd and senseless.
carry grief
the sound of hatred
hammers in my ears
and the fragmentation of the living
reaches into the depths of integrity.
when will it burn out
this static image.
where is its demise
where its new beginning
in the cyclical
that runs uncharted and without
calculation.
official visualizer, September 2025
‚dealing with sorrow’ describes peace as a slow, often painful process of breaking free from automatic responses, letting go of patterns, the ability to grieve, and a moment of realisation and awakening.
pure joy // reine freude
at last
I wish to meet you
and marvel
at all the skins
from which I emerge.
at last
a core takes shape
of open calmness and purpose
that shatters every boundary.
at last
the forces centre themselves
belonging
to the rugged landscape
that I call myself.
and at last
a sigh
the gift that is given
can take shape as talent
that gives.
so as to unwaveringly
put an end to the betrayal
on living
trembling essence.
official visualizer, August 2023
‚pure joy‚ celebrates life itself, which seeks to attain consciousness, from the heart and into the heart of creation.
the moment // niemals werde wir uns verfehlen
in view of my complete shape
this playful gathering of particles attracting and repelling one another
I observe the constant change
that arises from them…
…what lay long in the dark finally emerges from the shadows.
in the face of your complete shape
this playful gathering of particles attracting and repelling one another
I observe the constant change that arises…
… what had long remained hidden finally steps out of the shadows.
we shall never fail one another.

‘the moment’ bears witness to correspondence, which, as a state of presence, is also a source of comfort and creative connection.
A birth of awareness, unfolding a life that flows from the inside out.
vision // gesichtskreise
I remember faces
and every face
takes shape out of a circle.
understanding them
seems possible only through being touched
carefree and honest.
long ago
they formed into ever-new circles
of faces
working wonders
as they ignited and converged
carefree and honest
today
the faces have become islands
well-guarded
deeply hidden
long concealed
drifting far apart
without knowing of one another.
the circles of faces
which shadowy
today pass by
at the edge of my consciousness
ignite and converge a longing within me
for every circle
every face
every expression
carefree and honest
and creating wonders

‚vision‘ plays with dreamlike images – a doorway throuh which vision became reality and dreams became movement.
between reflection and rememberance // zwischen spiegelbildern und erinnern
there is a breath
between you and me
that loves reflections.
and there is a breathing
between us
that is rememberance.
will there be a place of encounter?
a junction
where one merges
into the other?
will we know how to response to each others infinity
between
reflection and rememberance.
in the breath
between I and self?
official visualizer, November 24
‚between reflection and remembrance‘ centres on the question: “What is seeking to express itself through me?”, enabling us to look beyond the conditioned question “What will bring me recognition and rewards?” and see our own essence, our own self.
