Anna Cher is a renowned contemporary, floral painter and her original artwork
has been highly sought-after for some years. Focused on the beauty of nature,
she aims to create a balance between realistic and abstract art. Anna is passionate
about experimentation and she enjoys evolving her style through brushstrokes,
multi-layering and colour palette.
Anna studied interior design as part of her art education in Russia, and the tonal
harmony of colour and texture that she studied has undoubtedly informed her
work. The move from Russia to the UK opened a new world of visual perception
for her which she believes is based on the cultural codes; this is how I began my
journey of releasing my style from academic rules in painting and finding my
own visual voice. Anna feels that she has found a delicate equilibrium between
the energy of mark-making and the perception of reality.
Having experimented with multiple mediums, Anna now focuses on acrylics.
It is an important element of her signature style; acrylics dry quickly and
therefore ensures that there is a vitality to her work that can be lost though
overthinking. The use of palette knives accentuates the movement in her work
and consequently her paintings are immediate, fresh, and energised.
There is a depth to her work that is emphasised by the texture and sculptural
nature of her approach, and a luxury and opulence that radiates
from the subject matter that she depicts.
