"Colourful Blooms" Painting

Colour and atmosphere are at the center of Anna Marous' compositions. Her works navigate the figurative and the abstract with an appeal for playfulness and an awareness of modern and contemporary arts. While expressionism surfaces as the dominant style, her paintings are poetic and tender despite their luscious colours. The influence of the modern masters and the school of Paris are evident: Picasso, Matisse, Klee, Tolouse-Lautrec, Dufy, and Modigliani. All figure in her work as she leads with a contemporary design of classic subjects including still lives and abstract works.

Anna Marous speaks about her painting process in this way: "Art is freedom. It is a never-ending conversation. If you summon the courage, painting offers the possibility to discover where your intuition leads you, free from constraints other than those brought about by your medium and surface. It is a dance of your encounter with paint--a dance where you get drawn in so deep that you catch the hand of the viewer."

​Anna Marous has painted since her early twenties without any formal training. She later attended advanced fine art programs through the Royal College of Arts in London, England, the Visual Arts Center in Westmount, Quebec, and l'Atelier Circulaire in Montreal, Quebec. She engaged in artistic collaborations and private mentorships. Her work appears in collections all across North America, Europe and worldwide in such places as Dubai, New York, Porto Rico, London amongst many others and is amongst the permanent collections of Hotels and Institutions.
