About this artwork
The painting belongs to my ongoing series Landscapes in Motion which deals with urban landscapes caught in the moments in motion that emphasize today's hectic… and hurried life. I often reflect on the arcadian landscapes of the past and realize that their modern counterparts are exactly these busy, blurry cityscapes in contrast to once idyllic green pastures.
I used oil on canvas which I always use for this series because it allows me to work with translucent layers and blur the surfaces, all of which I believe add to the depth of the painting.

« 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.
