About the Item

Origin 1, 2019
watercolor on Fabriano paper
95 x 55 in.
(zan177)
This original contemporary abstract watercolor painting features large, gestural strokes of transparent blues and browns paint in layered, organic shapes.
"For me, making art has always been a search that allowed me to explore the formal visual elements, as well as my personal feelings, through an intuitive, spontaneous process. Through abstract form I often investigate questions of memories, past, and origin.
My abstract paintings are executed in a combined media of watercolor and ink. They are built with layers of washes, intermixed with dynamic lines, scribbles and marks of ink drawing, with an emphasis on the mark making. There is often a quiet tension between the watercolor's fluidity, softness and calm, vs. the dynamic, rhythm and energy of drawing. The spontaneous and gestural activity of mark making in my work is closely tied to calligraphy, language and symbolic communication.
My work emerges from a process that is both controlled and accidental. In this I see a metaphor for the duality of life, where certain things can be controlled, while others just happen naturally, on their own"

"My art practice is an exploration of the formal visual elements, as well as my personal feelings, through an intuitive, spontaneous process. Often reminiscent of imaginary landscapes, my watercolor paintings evolve through layers of washes, with an emphasis on the mark making. There is a quiet tension between the watercolor's fluidity, softness and calm, versus the dynamic, rhythm and energy of drawing. The spontaneous and gestural activity of mark making in my work is closely tied to calligraphy, language and symbolic communication. In my process, I see a metaphor for the duality of life; where certain things can be controlled, while others happen spontaneously." Ana received her Master of Fine art and Art Education from the Academy of Fine Arts, University of Zagreb, Croatia. She lives and works in Geneva, Illinois.
