Anna Kapustina

Anna Kapustina is a photographer, artist, author and documentary filmmaker.

As an artist she works in watercolor, acrylics, pastels, texture painting, mixed media techniques and digital art.

She has an amazing gift of noticing details in everyday life that can create a story and become the object of an artist's research. This skill the artist has acquired through her extensive experience in documentary filmmaking as a writer and director.

She approaches the creation of paintings holistically: not just forming a sensual color palette, but also defining a story based in reality.

Other creators have noticed that her art is sensitive and strong at the same time. They also note the beautiful colors and halftones that no one else uses in this way.

Anna has exhibited extensively in New York. Now she has moved to Pennsylvania and continues her work, inspired by the deep history, originality and beauty of these places.

Anna Kapustina has been graduated with a degree in Journalism from Moscow Pedagogical State University.

She completed her training from "Art Cinema" cinematography courses in 2011.
In the same year her short feature film "Judge Savelyeva" based on the biography of the poet Joseph Brodsky was shown at the international short film festival "Art Cinema" at the "World of Art" cinema in Moscow.
