Anna Ovsiankina

As an artist I want to create magic and touch your feelings. In my paintings, I strive to capture and convey the delicate nuances of sensitivity, sensuality, a myriad of other sensations and emotions. I firmly believe that feelings and emotions are eternal, and through my art, I aim to express and explore these timeless aspects of the human experience. For me, painting serves as a medium to bridge the gap between the artist and the viewer. It is not merely a solitary act of creation, but rather an ongoing dialogue between the artwork and its audience. The painting becomes a reflection of both the artist's inner world and a mirror that allows the spectator to glimpse their own experiences and emotions.

 

 

I find great value in the interaction between my art and those who appreciate it. The art process extends beyond the act of painting itself, as it continues to evolve and grow through the connection formed with art enthusiasts and connoisseurs. Their interpretations and reactions add depth and meaning to my work, enriching the artistic journey.

In my artistic practice, I hope to create a space where emotions are not only expressed but also shared, where the boundaries between artist and spectator blur, and where the power of art to evoke and provoke emotions is celebrated. Through this ongoing exchange, I believe that art can touch hearts, inspire conversations, and create connections that transcend time and space. Born and raised in Ukraine, my artistic journey has been a winding path. While initially studying at the State Art School, I unfortunately had to halt my education during the final year due to family obligations. Despite this setback, I pursued a degree in economics and found success in the field of marketing.

 

          

 

However, my love for art never waned, and I eventually found my way back to it. Seeking to hone my skills and expand my artistic horizons, I sought private lessons from esteemed professionals. Their guidance and mentorship allowed me to refine my techniques. In 2017, I proudly held my first solo exhibition, a milestone that marked the beginning of my independent artistic career. Since then, I have continued to showcase my work through solo exhibitions and have also been fortunate enough to participate in collective exhibitions. It brings me immense joy to know that my paintings have found homes in Ukraine and other countries, connecting with individuals who appreciate and resonate with my artistic expression.

 

 

         

          

 

As an artist, I am constantly seeking to capture the essence of emotions and experiences, translating them onto canvas in a way that transcends language and cultural barriers. Through my art, I hope to evoke a sense of contemplation, inviting viewers to delve into their own thoughts and emotions. Each stroke of the brush is a deliberate attempt to create a visual language that speaks to the soul, provoking introspection and fostering a deeper connection with the world around us.
