Anita Nowinska

The power of Nature & taking time to observe its minute details & abundance has incredible effects on well-being. This is the primary inspiration for my work.

Exploring the way our ancient genetic connection to the seasons, flora & colours in Nature influences how we feel is the foundation behind the big paintings of flowers, meadows & natural landscapes I create.

I paint what I need, not what I feel. Whatever is happening in life, taking the time to observe Nature in quiet contemplation soothes my mind mind & eases my body. You will most often find me with a sketchbook or camera, wandering through gardens, sitting in wild meadows or with my head in a hedgerow, fascinated by those little things we usually walk past. The play of dappled light through meadow grasses, the glint of a dew drop on a petal, these things fill me with wonder & galvanise me to explore them on my canvas.

These quiet moments translate into the big evocative paintings I create, which celebrate the simple wonder of the world around me.

Somehow, immersing myself in the creative process results in answers to life's puzzles revealing themselves. I find myself relaxing, feeling joy & pain easing. I find it incredibly humbling that many of my collectors say that...

Although I did an Art foundation & studied Graphic Design, I found that direction too limiting & have explored my creativity over the years in a self taught way. The evolution of my work is closely linked to my own self development & study of human wellbeing & psychology.

Previous Solo shows & exhibitions. I usually exhibit as big solo shows in prestigious locations which reflect my subject matter, where I can interact with visitors on a closer level.
