Anna Laicane

"It is light and color that intrigues me most as a painter. Just like life, everything changes depending on the light. There may not be, perhaps, an objective reality, but it might be an opportunity to look for more beautiful reality. There is a choice of looking at certain things, events, people or landscapes. And there is also a choice what to see in them.

The feeling for my cityscapes, human motives and birds is well inspired by music. I choose the proper music to set the right mood which helps the ideas to crystallize into the shape of paintings.

My primary interest are clear colors and tonal harmony. I enjoy finding the right set of colors that depicts feeling of flash."
