Tension Painting

Anna is an Artist based in Ireland Co. Wicklow, which is known for its wild and mystic forest and mountains that can be somewhat dark in its ambiance. Having such beautiful surroundings clearly reflects Anna's works as there is a visible connection to Irish nature. Anna compares her creative process to meditation or putting yourself in a state of mindfulness. "Sometimes it is a free-flow of thoughts, and sometimes I focus on shapes, colours and forms..." Her process starts from a random image, but more often than not it will be transformed fully into something new, however she would never know the final effect from the get-go, as this "free-flow" will shape it. Anna draws her inspirations from a broad range of topics but they all seem to circle around mental health, psychology, fashion, beauty and most importantly nature, which gives her a great sense of tranquillity and inner peace.
