About ANA SAMBOUR

Born in Ecuador, Ana is a designer/painter creating art solutions for home and office living. As a painter, before opting for studio work, Ana specialized in colour and fantasy finishes for interiors. She creates spaces designed to bring a touch of reverie into the everyday. The drive behind her work is: "to bring back to people the ability to dream". In a world rapidly changing and with the desire to impact current lifestyles, Ana is making her interior work more accessible by painting in panels. Individual pieces combined into sequential series become screens, wall panels or partitions. Her work is mostly in mixed medium. Ana blends colour touches of light and ancient restorations techniques. She uses humble materials, often pieces found in nature or findings and transforms them into luxurious productions. Her palette is at times monochromatic or at times, exuberant. Ana's painting reflects her background in fashion, interior design and her cross/cultural experience between Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe. Her work is sensorial, bold, clean and contemporary.

Education:

Self/taught. Ana had her debut as a painter by watching Haitian Master Bernard Sejourne at work in his studio. From him, she learned how to bring glow and light to surfaces. Throughout the years, the learning process has been through observation. She has worked with skilled artisans and restoration craftsmen from the Quito Colonial School and Europe. Studies in Interior Design and architectural work are the skills learned to set proportions within her work.

Events:

In late Spring 2020, she will launch her project "Art Interiors", a series of walls to dream, a wall panel project for art lovers, architects, interior designers and real estate developers.

Exhibitions:

As an emerging artist, she does not have a history of exhibits. Her work is mostly on the walls of private homes.
