About the Item
What do you get when art meets math and computer programming? If you’re Ani Aba, what you get are stunning replicas of art historical masterpieces or replicas of animals portraits made from thread. The 32-year-old Russian artist developed the technique in conjunction with her husband, Andrey, a talented mathematician who uses an algorithm to generate patterns for recreating printed or painted images in this unique medium.
“Without a computer program, it would not be possible for the human eye to create something like this” .“My program analyzes millions of possibilities of how to place the threads and when it finds the result that best matches the photograph, it stops counting.”
Andrey’s algorithm makes some 2 billion calculations in order to produce a pattern for each work. Thanks to the computer’s instructions, Ani knows just how to have the different threads overlap to recreate famous works of art such as Johannes Vermeer’s The Girl With the Pearl Earring or Leonardo da Vinci‘s Mona Lisa.
The effect is remarkable. Black, white, yellow, red, and green threads, crisscrossing over one another and winding around nails hammered around the edge of a circular plywood board, somehow come together to form a realistic portrait. Each piece takes hours to make, the string passing cross the piece as many as 8,000 times in order to create the final image.
Muriel Guépin Gallery is the first gallery to represent her works.

Measures approx. 22 1/2" height x 14 1/2" width x 10" depth
Her sculptures are made of natural sisal Fiber from an agave and meticulously hand painted. The eyes are hand blown glass.
Anne Andersson was born in Gothenburg, Sweden, with a great desire to explore Nature and a Passion for Art. She received a degree in science in 1981 from Kjällbergska University in Gothenburg and a degree in Art from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. She now works from her studio in St. Petersburg, Florida as a Sculptor, illustrator and painter. Her work calls to mind the animalia artworks of Henri Maik and Gustavo Novoa.
Anne Andersson's artwork serves as an homage to our planet’s charismatic and rare wild animals. Inspired by the majesty and beauty of exotic wildlife, and motivated by an urge to preserve them, Anne’s astonishingly realistic life-size sculptures capture the experience of seeing these animals up close without exploiting them. Her sculpted work using natural materials and clay, provides a humane alternative to big game trophy hunting and taxidermy.
She combines her talents in painting, tapestry weaving and illustration with an intuitive attention to the smallest detail to truly bring her sculptures to life. She has created lions, tigers, leopards, jaguars, cheetahs, bobcats, lynxes, pumas, elephants, rhinos, bears, water buffalo, bison, moose, wolves, coyotes and more—but she feels closest to the big cats. Anne graduated with honors at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale in 1989. It was then that she met Don Moore...
