Anna Ravliuc

My paintings do not intend to provide an idealistic view on the environment, but to recognize which individual roles in the surrounding society are important. As different rules apply in everyday life, my artworks demonstrate how society spreads beyond its own subjective horizons and often reveals a story about the outcomes of global cultural interaction on individuals.

Oil painting has a unique opportunity to simulate volumetric texture through brushstrokes and glazing, increasing their optical properties. As painting technique, I draw inspiration from classic ‘Italian method’ and the Modernist tradition. Clean, deep colours help me to more accurately and succinctly express my thoughts, they do not disrupt the harmony of the painting, even if contrasting colours are side by side.
