About Luane

Luane Brauner was born near Berlin and began drawing and painting at an early age. In 1998, she made the decisive move to become a self-employed artist.

In her thirties, she began exhibiting her work and, within a few years, established a strong reputation, with collectors acquiring her landscapes, portraits, and animal paintings.

In 2007, Luane moved to New Zealand. The landscape — especially the forests of the South Island — became a lasting source of inspiration. Her paintings are rooted in direct experience, often emerging from time spent in remote places, where atmosphere, stillness, and a sense of presence become visible.

Alongside her painting, she is currently working on her first book. She lives and works in Golden Bay, New Zealand.
