UNITY OF NATURE - large blue and green flowers Painting

Anna Bondar (artist name Anna DAR) is a contemporary Ukrainian artist working in mixed media. After the Russian invasion began in February 2022, she was evacuated to Spain. The artist considers her works of art as a result of personal feelings, emotional, spiritual, and aesthetic pleasure. Each of her paintings appears as a concentrate of personal philosophy, the search for harmony, the meaning of life, and the beauty of nature. All works are connected with each other, because this is a life path, woven bit by bit from large and small events. After finishing her degree in interior design from the Art Institute of Art Modeling and Design “Salvador Dali” (Kyiv, Ukraine) in 2014, she improved her skills under the mentorship of realist artist Vasyliy Borisenko. Over time, Anna realized that realistic painting on canvas did not correspond to her ideas about contemporary art and started experimenting with genres, techniques and materials, but more importantly, to work deeper with meanings. This contributed to the emergence of a series of modern portraits and abstract landscapes. Horses and equestrian sport occupy a significant place in Anna's life. As a professional rider, she travels to the countryside for everyday trainings, which allows her to observe these amazing creatures all year round and portray them in her works. Due to the war and moving to another country, Anna had to give up her favorite business and leave a big and bloody piece of her heart in her homeland. This separation strengthened the reflection on grief in his native country and this led to a new turn in art. Since 2018, Anna Bondar has been participating in regional and national exhibitions of contemporary art in Ukraine and USA. Since 2021 Anna Bondar is a member of the Union of Young Artists of Ukraine. Anna Bondars` works are stored in private collections: Ukraine, Russia, England, Hungary, Ireland, and the USA.
