Aneta Kajzer was born in Katowice, Poland, in 1989 and lives and works in Berlin. From 2008 to 2010, she studied Art History and European Ethnology at the University of Würzburg. From 2011 to 2017, she studied Fine Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts Mainz under Anne Berning and Shannon Bool, receiving her Master's degree. In 2017, she was awarded the Winsor & Newton Scholarship for Painting and undertook a residency at Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin. In 2018, she participated in the Goldrausch Künstlerinnenprojekt, a professional development programme for female visual artists in Germany.

Kajzer's paintings oscillate between abstraction and figuration, navigating seemingly opposing qualities such as beauty and ugliness, seriousness and humor. Beginning with color and gesture, she allows forms to emerge, transform, and reorganize through an intuitive process of painting. Figures, faces, and ambiguous creature-like forms appear and dissolve within her compositions, creating an open-ended visual experience. Making use of pareidolia and suggestive association, Kajzer invites viewers to discover recognizable forms within abstract fields of color and brushwork, creating a dynamic tension between chance and control, abstraction and representation.

Kajzer has held solo exhibitions in Berlin, Paris, Tokyo, London, Copenhagen, Stockholm, and New York. Recent highlights include How many do you see? at Neue Galerie Gladbeck and Traumlandschaften at 104GALERIE, Tokyo (2026); Too Close to the Sun at Semiose, Paris (2025); Ghosted at PAGE, New York (2024); and Come out to Play at PALM gallery, Taipei (2023).

Kajzer has also participated in major group exhibitions, including NOW! Painting in Germany Today, presented at Kunstmuseum Bonn, Museum Wiesbaden, Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz, and Deichtorhallen Hamburg. Her work has also been exhibited at institutions including the Arp Museum, the National Museum of Art of Romania, and the National Museum in Gdańsk. Her works are held in collections including the Bundeskunstsammlung (Collection of the Federal Republic of Germany), FRAC Auvergne, the National Museum in Gdańsk, the New Carlsberg Foundation, and Sammlung Wemhöner.
