Anna Ravliuc

When viewing the surreal fantasy worlds which painter Anna Ravliuc portrays on her canvases, it may not be your first thought that they are inspired by 'daily life'; however it is this simple topic that the London-based artist cites as her main influence.

Working in oil on canvas, Ravliuc's paintings illustrate her own vision of the world, where the human drama of the everyday is heightened through the prism of personal feelings and experience. She compares her painting process to being in love, using colour, form and texture to create a conversation with the viewer in which her body and soul is laid bare.

In the last ten years Ravliuc has exhibited around the world in over one hundred group shows, from London and across the UK to New York and Canada, Ukraine, Jordan and Romania, where in 2012 her work could be seen at the Palace of the Parliament.
