Petrova Anna

Anna Petrova is a painter from Bryansk, Russia. Her main artistic project is called “Warm Space”. The project is all about drawing fairy tales on hand-made paper. The creative idea of Warm Space is to present an image of a woman who keeps the Warm Space, her specific magic world full of extraordinary creatures and spirits of Nature, the concept of “everyday miracle”. The aesthetic idea is to interweave pastel drawings with the natural paper texture, to bring life to every hand-made sheet, to tell the story hidden in natural lines of the material used. Anna's approach is to use pastel on natural eco-paper made of reusable materials (cane and grass). This paper has its own unique structure, its own “natural memory”. For some years she has visited Moscow art workshops to teach students how to use this approach in their work. Anna has been a professional artist since 2009. Her artwork can be found in various private art collections around the globe. Anna is a member of Creative Artists’ Union of Russia. She studied in Bryansk Art School, but didn’t come up with her personal art technique until much later.
