"Stillness of an Italian Street" Painting

Ana Ozz is a self-taught painter who lives and works in Valencia, Spain. She paints in watercolor on heavy cotton paper and in acrylic on canvas, keeping to a few colors: indigo, misty blue, olive green, ochre and terracotta. A single black line runs through most of her work, marking the edge of a wash or the curve of a shoulder.
Her two main subjects are women and abstraction. The women are painted without faces, usually from behind, at a window or looking out to sea, so that their stories stay open. In the abstract paintings, color and shape carry what words cannot.
Saatchi Art selected her work for its curated collection "Winter Textures", and in 2026 her paintings were shown in the group exhibition El Territorio Español at Bloom Gallery in Valencia. More than 140 of her original paintings are in private collections in the United States, France, Belgium, Germany and elsewhere in Europe.
