Anya Truskolaska

Anna Truskolaska (ANYA) is an independent contemporary painter born in 1984 in Gdańsk (Poland). She currently lives and creates in Sopot (PL), her second home is Italy. She studied Art History at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland and Cultural Studies with foreign languages at the University of Greenwich in London (2009). She took part in numerous exhibitions of contemporary art in and around Genoa. Her paintings are in private art collections in Italy, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Russia and Poland. She regularly exhibits her works in the Tri-City and Warsaw.
Since 2017, she has been co-creating the LIVE ART by Anya&Davide project, where she paints live during private and public events, together with her husband, the Italian artist Davide Canepa. Their performance, referring to abstract expressionism, is based on giving form to energy and improvisation.
Anya's paintings oscillate between magic and reality, between abstraction and representational art. Color is the most important element in them - intense, energetic colors are designed to stimulate the senses and imagination of the recipients, encourage them to travel deep into their own subconscious. The main theme of her works is the mysticism of existence - from the roots...
