Winter Shapes Painting

"Anna Kutishcheva is a painter well known for her ability to convey significant depth within the field of landscape painting... Her compositions are extremely well rendered, but it is her celebration of tone and hue that invoke melodrama. Her pieces, not unlike the landscapes of the early Canadian masters, leave us in awe of the sublime forces that exist within nature... she pushes past the picturesque into territory that refuses to remain purely decorative. Her technical objectivity belies the heavy symbolism in her works; this tension is the force that keeps her audience rapt with attention, as if each sequential piece promises to reveal a touch more on the mystery of the Canadian landscape." (Cole Swanson, Curator, Living Arts Center, Mississauga)
