Artist in Residence — Anna Kraske

Burnt Sienna is pleased to welcome Anna Kraske as Artist in Residence at the Charlottenburg studio throughout June 2026.

Based between New York City and Washington, DC, Kraske’s work is deeply informed by a life shaped across cultures, histories, and political landscapes. Her recent paintings examine the human and environmental cost of aerial bombardment as a weapon of war, using rubble and destruction as recurring metaphors for the instability and fragmentation of the current historical moment.

During her residency in Berlin, Kraske will develop a new body of work within Burnt Sienna’s studio environment, culminating in a public exhibition in July 2026 at the Charlottenburg gallery space.

Kraske Bio

Anna Kraske is an artist based in New York City and Washington, DC. Kraske was born in

America to a German father and a Palestinian mother. In the late 1970s, her family lived in

New Delhi for several years. Living within a confluence of cultures has had a profound

impact on the artist and her work.

Kraske obtained her MFA at the New York Academy of Art 2025. She has exhibited her

work around the New York area for several years. Her most recent work has examined the

cost – both human and environmental - of air-bombing as a weapon of war. Spanning

across time, locations and cultures, Kraske’s paintings point to this rubble as a metaphor

for the destruction she perceives all around her in this current historical moment.
