Anna Filimonova
Anna Filimonova is an award-winning artist. She perceives the world both as it is and as it might be: colourful surreal worlds, shapes, and abstract images. Her interweaving of natural and fantastical imagery seeks to challenge us and tell stories about ourselves and our environment. Anna gives us something rare in the modern art world, new ways to see and experience what we already know. As she sees it there is no one reality, but many divergent views; reality depends upon your perspective.
She communicates her distinct outsider interpretation of the world, painting visions of the real and unreal for us. Anna offers insight into how we understand and perceive our reality, looking through our preconceptions, she creates a visual poem for us to decipher.
Working primarily with acrylic on canvas, Anna has established a distinctive artistic style. Surreal and natural elements combine with and are seen through windows, doors, and rooms. Her originality and thematic strengths have been recognised with numerous awards, including the prestigious Premier Award at the 2017 Hibiscus & Bays Art Awards as well as many other awards and honours.
