Westover Gallery are proud to launch the stunning work of Anna Cher. Anna is a passionate floral and animal abstract painter, focused on the beauty of nature and tries to catch a balance between realistic and abstract art.
As a multidisciplinary artist with a rich and diverse background in the arts, Anna has also worked as an interior designer in Moscow before moving to England in early 2000 where she graduated from the Cambridge School of Art to pursue a career in illustration. Anna successfully worked as an illustrator for a few years and published several books in Europe, the UK, and the USA (under a different name).
Anna's true passion lies in painting, and a few years ago, she devoted herself entirely to this art form. Breaking free from the limits and dogmas of academia is an important evolutionary process as an artist. She works quickly, spontaneously, and intuitively, and her paintings are an expression of her inner work on her own fears of "mistakes" and imperfection. The acceptance of imperfection also manifests the diversity of life, which Anna celebrates through her art. Anna's medium of choice is acrylic, with its fluidity and quick-drying properties. This allows her to follow the flow and let go of the animal and primitive within herself, creating a unique harmony on canvas.
Each new canvas becomes a therapeutic session for Anna, where she explores the joy of life in its beautiful and aesthetic manifestation. When she's not in her studio, Anna can be found at the gym with a barbell on her shoulders or figure skating at the ice-rink. Her dedication to physical fitness and movement is reflected in her art, which is characterized by a sense of fluidity and spontaneity... Ultimately, Anna aims to create art that brings joy and beauty to your place.
"I create my works as embodiments, images of joyful moments. I hope they become a refreshing experience for the viewer, a reason to lift one's spirits. After all, life offers enough sadness anyway. As an artist I try to remind myself and my viewers that life is not all frustration and grief."
