Anna Blazhiyevska

Anna Blazhiyevska is an Ukrainian folk art artist, who takes the centuries-old European tradition of painting on wooden eggs and plates and incorporates her own style. Designs include modern, landscape and traditional Ukrainian (Petrikivka floral patterns). Artist uses acrylic paint and completes with a gloss finish.
Anna is a member of The Alamo Danville Artists’ Society (ADAS) and the founder and owner of the AB ART Studio.

"As a native Ukrainian, I juxtapose the centuries-old European folk tradition painting on wooden eggs and painting on canvas. By painting on an organic curved surface instead of a flat canvas, my miniature “eggscapes” represent the beauty of the natural landscapes while echoing the curvature of the Earth. I like to work with wood because it’s a warm material that invokes a feeling of sunlight. Through my work, the traditions of the old world are juxtaposed with a modern style of painting.

In my canvas paintings, I combine living and inanimate nature. Exploring the opposite sides of life, I hope to show the magic of complexity around us. The painting becomes an experiment, allowing me to explore relationships between simple objects and their role in my world."
