About Ana Hercigonja Gutschy

After I graduated from School for Applied Arts and Design, studying Art History made a deep impact on my work and more often I began to have a more conceptual approach. Based on concept I choose media type and how to express it, however never losing the interest in aesthetic. I love to experiment and explore the world, the art and myself. For me making art is like never-ending play and way to express thoughts and emotions, conscious and subconscious. Themes in my works are often around philosophy, relationships, humor, contradictions and values in society and art itself. I think a lot, feel a lot and more often I try to escape overplanning in making art and let the process, in which I am not in total control, take over. I am born and living in Zagreb, Croatia and been interested in art since childhood. I work in various art mediums and techniques like painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, art installation and mixed media.
