Anna Kola’s art is characterised by her remarkable ability to suggest the phenomena which are difficult to define; she is active in numerous artistic areas with great freedom and amazing know-how. This multithreading, merging, or penetration of the media becomes obvious when one gets to know the author’s reference point, how she sees everything that surrounds her, that becomes a value for her.
As the author herself says, the inspiration for her is everything that exists around her, the old tree trunks that she discovered, moss-covered erratic granites, blades of grass, shimmering water, constantly changing sky. We all know that beauty of the world is a matter of controversy, it’s a creation perceived as a dialogue with the environment, hence the frequently emerging elements such as light, space, sea. Living close to nature, the author reclaims it in a way, by selecting the places where she wants to stay, identifying herself with them or deepening the ties with them, and creates her own language. These material combinations are relevant and compelling, resulting in compositions with a unique, personal message.[…]
