Anna Novick is a professional painting artist currently based in California, USA. She holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from the prestigious Moscow State Academic Art Institute named after V.I. Surikov. Her artistic work explores the intricate relationships between tone, light, color, and form, with a strong emphasis on composition. A key feature of her style is the use of chiaroscuro, which infuses her paintings with depth and contrast. Whether creating landscapes, still lifes, or genre scenes, Anna’s artistic challenge lies in harmonizing individual elements to convey their interconnectedness, resulting in a balanced and evocative whole.
Anna’s journey as an artist is deeply rooted in her academic training and shaped by her admiration for artists who capture life and light with realism and emotional resonance. She draws significant inspiration from renowned painters such as Arcady Plastov, Ilya Repin, Konstantin Korovin, Vasily Surikov, and JoaquÃn Sorolla. Additionally, the mastery of light seen in the works of John Singer Sargent continues to influence her exploration of oil painting and watercolor.
These influential artists have helped Anna develop her unique approach, blending realism with impressionistic touches and balancing technical precision with emotional depth. Her work tells stories that reflect the profound beauty of nature, the human spirit, and the interplay between knowledge and feeling.
