About
I create intuitive portraits of women that explore emotion, nature, and the unseen energies around us.
Flowers and natural motifs weave through my work, symbolising growth, love, and connection.
Working instinctively with acrylics and ink, I embrace spontaneity, letting each piece reveal itself organically.
My art captures raw, unfiltered emotion, offering a mirror to our own inner worlds.
ABOUT Creative Process & Inspiration
Finding Inspiration
Anna is drawn to faces with striking features and expressive eyes. She primarily works with water-based paints like ink and acrylics, allowing for fluidity and quick layering. A signature technique of hers is using a hairdryer to speed up drying, creating dynamic textures and unexpected effects.
Color & Emotion
Her colour choices depend on her artistic “periods.” Sometimes she explores a wide range, while other times she favors cool tones. Recently, she has gravitated toward warm hues like oranges and reds, adding intensity and emotion. Strong contrasts between black and white further enhance the drama and depth in her paintings.
Composition: Structure vs. Intuition
Some of Anna’s works follow a structured composition, placing subjects within a narrative context. Other times, she lets intuition guide her, focusing solely on faces and emotions. This spontaneous approach allows her to capture raw, unfiltered expressions, making each piece a powerful statement.
The Essence of Anna’s Art
Anna’s work is more than painting faces—it’s about revealing hidden emotions and telling untold stories. Through her evolving artistic journey, she continues to push the boundaries of expression, leaving a lasting impact with each piece.

I prioritise presenting my work online as a way of operating beyond local scenes and engaging a specific international audience. Physical exhibitions are approached selectively and by design, functioning as intentional nodes of engagement rather than as a primary measure of visibility.
