An art exhibition in Valencia celebrating human reflection through seven creative perspectives.
Valencia, Spain — On December 14, 2025, Art Club Valencia is organizing the exhibition “Reflections of the Soul,” a one-day collective event that will bring together seven international artists from the US, Poland, Germany, Venezuela, Australia, and Spain. The event will take place from 12:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., with free admission for the general public. During the day, there will be guided tours led by the artists themselves, and from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., there will be presentations and live performances.
An inner journey through seven different styles
The exhibition “Reflections of the Soul” offers a journey through different ways of understanding beauty. Visitors will be able to enjoy a diversity of styles ranging from realistic art, abstract and surrealism, naturalism, geometric abstraction, to erotic figurative art and spiritual art, and even live performance.
"The essence of this exhibition is to show how artists interpret the soul: what we feel, what we cannot express in words, what moves us. Each work is a mirror of the artist's soul," explains Anastasia Wanke, artist and organizer of Art Club Valencia.
An event to discover new art and connect with artists
“Reflections of the Soul” exhibits the works of artists Anastasia Wanke, Kami Madart, Marti Lay, Michael Schmeja, Aubrey Ramage-Lay, Yulitza America, and Tomas Lay, inviting the public to enjoy an intimate gathering of artists, collectors, and art lovers in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The event also offers a special opportunity to find original works for those looking for unusual Christmas gifts.
The exhibition, organized by Art Club Valencia, will take place at La Oveja Blanca, Carrer de Lluís de Santàngel, 20, 46005 Valencia, on Sunday, December 14, from 12:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Anastasia Wanke, a german artist, currently residing in Valencia (Spain), was one of the winners of the 8th International Speaker Slam in Wiesbaden on July 17, 2025, where she thrilled the audience with an impressive stage performance.
The event, which attracted 218 participants from 23 countries, set a new record and marked a breakthrough for the artist.
What made it special was that participants had only 240 seconds to win over their audience.
Wanke, whose works have been shown in international exhibitions and published in art magazines, used the stage to share her personal story and her philosophy on overcoming the rat race. Her presentation focused on how she found the courage through art to devote her life to her passion.
“My topic was how I overcame the rat race through art and found the courage to devote myself to my passion instead of spending my whole life working toward other people's goals in jobs where I didn't feel fulfilled,” explained Anastasia Wanke after her performance.
Her art, which combines colorful abstraction and nude drawings, serves as a means of expression for inner and outer freedom.
The participants of the Speaker Slam were particularly impressed by Wanke's authentic and motivating manner. She described how she overcame her fear of giving up her secure job and devoting herself entirely to art. Her presentation encouraged many in the audience to reflect on their own life paths and find the courage to pursue their own dreams.
Anastasia Wanke also took the opportunity to share her philosophy on life: “Dare to truly live your life before you dare not to.” This quote aptly sums up her message of self-realization and the courage to break new ground.
The International Speaker Slam provided Anastasia Wanke with an ideal platform to convey her message to a wide audience and talk about her art as a form of expression of freedom. The event once again underscored the importance of personal development and motivation in the art world.
Valencia, 25 de julio – La artista alemana residente en Valencia, Anastasia Wanke, organizó el pasado 25 de julio un evento único que reunió a amantes del arte de todo el mundo.
El "Art Club Valencia", fundado por la artista, que cuenta con más de 400 miembros, organizó una visita a galerías con cena, que reunió a galerías, coleccionistas y amantes del arte en un entorno muy personal.
El evento, que tuvo lugar en las galerías Ana Serratosa y Galería Shiras, las cuales representan principalmente a artistas valencianos, atrajo a participantes de más de 16 naciones. El acto se celebró en inglés y español para reflejar la diversidad internacional de los asistentes.
Anastasia Wanke, conocida por su estilo único que combina arte abstracto con dibujos de desnudos artísticos, y que ya ha recibido reconocimiento internacional, se mostró encantada con el ambiente del evento.
«Quiero reunir a todo tipo de amantes del arte y reducir las barreras de entrada al mundo artístico», afirmó. Anastasia considera que muchas personas se sienten inseguras al visitar galerías por su cuenta o creen que necesitan un conocimiento profundo para disfrutar del arte.
El evento sirvió como plataforma para un intercambio abierto y cercano entre artistas, entusiastas del arte, coleccionistas y personas que simplemente buscaban la compañía de gente afín. Los participantes tuvieron la oportunidad de explorar las galerías, debatir sobre obras y socializar.
Con este encuentro, la organizadora del Art Club Valencia buscaba romper las barreras entre galerías, artistas y público. La positiva respuesta de los asistentes confirmó su enfoque de crear un acceso abierto y acogedor al mundo del arte. Al reunir a personas con intereses similares en un entorno organizado pero informal, el objetivo es fomentar la confianza y el disfrute del arte.
El evento del Art Club Valencia fue todo un éxito y contribuyó a revitalizar y conectar la escena artística valenciana.
