Anna Ravliuc

I am a contemporary oil painter with Ukrainian-Romanian roots, currently living and creating in the UK. My work explores human emotion through bold movement, rich textures, and the dramatic play of light.

Using palette knives instead of brushes, I paint instinctively — my gestures are direct, expressive, and unfiltered. Horses, human figures, and natural landscapes are recurring subjects in my art, each chosen not only for their form but for the emotional depth they carry.

My paintings often explore dualities: strength and fragility, silence and storm, control and wild freedom. Horses, especially, serve as metaphors for the raw inner energy I try to capture on canvas. Nature is not simply scenery in my work — it is a reflection of the inner world.

With nearly 100 international exhibitions, many of them solo shows, my art has reached audiences across Europe, China, and the USA. I continue my artistic journey with optimism, curiosity, and a deep belief in the power of visual storytelling.

Through Saatchi Gallery, I hope to connect with collectors and art lovers who value honesty, sensitivity, and emotional resonance in contemporary painting.
