About this artwork
I painted it after visiting a mountain in Serbia, Zlatar. It was in the early autumn and the sights were stunningly beautiful.
It was still warm, but the yellows were slowly starting to dominate the landscape. I was so enchanted by the beautiful sights that I painted one little collection of Zlatar-inspired landscapes. "Constraints" is one of them.
I posed the gray, wall-like… spaces against the beautiful landscape to show the disappearance of nature under the strike of urbanization and progress. Also the consequences of climate change.

« Most of my inspiration, or what drives me, comes from the work itself. »
In recent years, her work has revolved around nature, whether it's landscapes on fire, regular landscapes, or botanical ones. Ana believes that nature should be in focus because it heals us, has the power of revival, and brings much-needed serenity to our busy lives. Also, with global warming's growing presence, nature becomes a burning topic (pun intended) to shed light on all the beauty we are in danger of losing. That is why nature, in all its glory, is the main actor in all the stories here.
She works in various media, from watercolor to oils. However, her newest pieces feature mixed media on canvas with oil paint in the lead role. While the initial layers present fine play between acrylic paint and charcoal drawing, oil comes later to tie it all together, giving it transparency and depth.
