Anna Plavinskaya

The fantastic linear puzzles which I am creating on paper are always based on real trees.
In my art I am using a technique of pen and ink and etching – it is my favorite classical technique of Old Masters.
During meditation, watching the trees, nature, as it were, interacts with my subconscious.
The philosophical symbolism of my early artworks in the mid-nineties was replaced by ironic feminism. The drawings have become more figurative and the compositions multi-detailed.
Emerging themes usually reflect a particular situation from the "World of Women" - political, sensual, or everyday household themes that seem ironic to me as if I laughed at moments from my own life.
Often my works are the size of the original- particular tree. To complete a single drawing, it takes 1-2 months of daily work in open-air.
