Anna is a contemporary artist based in Moscow. Self-taught, she creates abstract pieces of artwork, often depicting figures with elongated necks and droopy oceanic blue eyes, brimming with emotion. Her style is unique. Chaotic and vibrant backgrounds alongside her striking illustrations of predominantly women, are ones to look at in awe. Staring at her busy pieces rarely tires; every square inch will reveal another section of skin that possesses a different story. Whether an illustrious gouge, a sensuous split or a mental scar, they are all celebrated.

"Anna Tsvell is an artist who seems to be too young for such a distinctive artistic style. She paints surreal portraits with watercolours and acrylics, putting some weird details and patterns looking like funguses, and making the necks long resembling the pictures of Anna Akhmatova and oil paintings by Amedeo Modigliani " .
