Anna Mar

Anna Mar is an abstract artist born in Poland and living in Sooke, British Columbia.

Anna’s creative journey started in 2013. She obtained a bachelor’s degree in Digital Media Design from the University of the Arts London UK and began career as a graphic designer and video editor.

She has long worked with various media, combining her passion for design with the power of storytelling. As a multifaceted artist she explored graphic design, illustration, animation, web design, video design and art direction.
After years of thinking about painting, Anna left a digital art world and picked up a brush. She quickly discovered abstract art — a pure form of expression and a journey of self discovery.

Anna believes that art reflects what is happening in our lives. It allows for an open statement and a conversation without words. Abstract art is an individual, unique form of expression. Through her art, Anna finds a connection with herself.

Anna’s art is strongly influenced by nature and emotions. She spends a lot of time outdoors, immersing herself in her surroundings and experiencing creation in its purest form. She looks at nature through the prism of our existence and our (co)existence with nature is an integral element of her art.
