Thank you! 😊

Hi! Thankfully, I'm not a refugee, I live in the UK for a long time now 😊

Hello, I’m Anna, a multidisciplinary artist, originally from Ukraine and currently based in London. In my artistic practice, I combine both figurative and abstract approaches and I view art as a powerful vehicle for self-exploration and introspection.

During Green week, mavkas come out of the water and search for humans, so it was forbidden to go into the field or forest. But there is also a belief that mavkas appear on earth at a time when the fields need moisture, and plants need the strength to grow. So they help ripen a rich harvest.

I've been recently working on a series of works "Mavka" inspired by Slavic mythology. Mavka (a Slavic mermaid) is a female spirit, appearing in the summer in the form of a long-haired woman in a cereal field, in a forest, near water, luring a person and drowning in water.
