Light and Shadow

This painting feels like a scene from a dream—an abstract city of light and shadow. The vertical strokes in silvery grays, midnight blues, and streaks of gold resemble tall towers or waterfalls cascading through a hidden realm. Between them, soft bursts of white bloom like glowing flowers or tiny stars, breaking through the dense structures as if life and hope are pushing against stone and metal.

It tells the story of a forgotten city bathed in eternal twilight. The golden hues suggest remnants of sunlight filtering through cracks, while the deep blues and blacks whisper of mystery and secrets long held in silence. The glowing bursts could be spirits, memories, or seeds of rebirth, thriving even in the midst of shadow.

To me, the story is one of resilience—the persistence of light and beauty even when surrounded by weight and darkness.

The painting is embellished with crushed glass. It's varnished, has painted edges and signed on the front in Russian, Anna's native language.

My paintings are created through feeling and intuition rather than structure or perfection. I’m inspired by the emotional atmosphere of nature — flowers, changing skies, water, light, seasons, and the quiet energy that exists beneath the surface of things.
I paint freely, letting colour and movement guide the process, allowing each artwork to unfold organically.
My work is not about recreating reality, but expressing the way the world feels emotionally, spiritually, and energetically.
Through fluid layers and expressive colour, I hope to create pieces that feel immersive, calming, and deeply personal to each viewer.
