BIO

1986 Born and raised in Minsk, in an ordinary family. Grew up in an atmosphere of prejudice against women, open discrimination and psychological abuse.

2007 Studied chemistry and worked at the laboratory - both impacted my experiments with abstract techniques later.

2008 Survived a difficult depression and decided to change my life. Left home and university to travel to Nepal and India.

2009 - 2016 Visited Peru, Bolivia, Tibet, Nepal, India, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, Egypt. Explored the features of religion, philosophy, psychology and everyday life of the people of these countries, while looking for answers to personal questions and searching for the possibility of healing childhood traumas. During this time: ascended 5500 m peak in the Himalayas; made a pilgrimage to the sacred Mount Kailash; lived and meditated in Buddhist and Hindu monasteries.

2011 Completed the creation my first painting in Nepal under a guidance of a monk. Became a mother.

2013 Visited shamans in Peru. Traveled with a family around Latin America. I researched the culture, customs and energy patterns of people.

2014 Moved to Thailand. Created first series of abstract paintings.

2015 Started studying painting at the university in Krakow.

2016 Created a series of abstract paintings named "Emotions".

2017 Most of these paintings later destroyed in storage.

2018 Created a series of artworks on the spiritual evolution of a woman, which combined figurative and abstract art.

Life is a great journey that may one day lead to dreams.

IN THE
CRITIC'S EYES

Masha Kagan, art critic from France

"If it was necessary to describe Annata’s art in one word, it would be a “revelation". Her works are filled with strength, courage to ask questions and ability to search for limits of human vulnerability. The ambivalence that the artist offers is based not only on the dialogue of figurative and abstract, but also on a subtle game with the scale and relativity of a person and the universe. The depth of this duality is a product of Annata’s personal story: a long path of getting to know herself. Spiritual practices, psychology studies, pilgrimages to Nepal, India and Peru in search of answers, are only a small part of her experiences. Her works are, on the one hand, a synthesis of her personal story, and on the other, an opportunity for the viewer to really understand their own pain.

Annata makes abstract and figurative art coexist through the establishment of a special connection based on the dual nature of the emotional state of a human being. Like Kandinsky in his time, the artist transforms color into a conscious sensory experience, but at the same time gives it additional depth through Buddhist meditative practices, in which this unusual assembly becomes the entry into the “here and now” state. However, the spontaneity of Annata's work has nothing to do with randomness. Professional art education, immersion in the intricacies of psychology and vast spiritual experience allow the artist to delicately manage color, textures and shapes, without losing any of that meditative state. The colors that the she uses are bright and deep, but at the same time devoid of senseless shock value. The color in this case is not an egocentric cry for attention, but a delicate offer to share the emotional state and convey the sensory experience.

Annata creates in her works a special, surreal dynamic, which, on the one hand, maintains a connection with the reality we perceive, and, on the other, pulls the viewer into another dimension, where there are no familiar principles of linearity of time and events; where there is only room for an honest meeting with oneself. This crystal-clear structure contains the non-trivial versatility of the artits works.

A woman is in the central point of many paintings created by Annata; feminine connection of physicality and spirituality, often difficult interactions with social attitudes and crippling external pressure. Direct relationship between the art and the path of the artist’s life is clearly visible, directly linking to the personal experiences of difficult relationships with men: violence, contempt, depression and subsequent healing. But the real purpose of Annata's work lies precisely in overcoming difficult circumstances and finding true oneself. Without giving universal, know-all answers to any questions, she starts a personal conversation with the viewer using the language of her own experiences, helping everyone reveal their own, unique stories through the artist’s absolute openness and bold exposure of her own soul."
