Regatta. Triptych. Part Three (2012) Painting by Anna Duyunova

~ Anna Duyunova considers art a vehicle for materializing and intensifying the intimate and emotional tones that pervade an ephemeral moment in time, creating moving and memorable works. The Kazakhstani-born Canadian painter draws inspiration from her travel across the world, injecting a sense of fantasy and wonder into a variety of scenes. Her subjects are quite traditional, ranging from landscapes and allegorical themes to portraits and genre scenes. Duyunova relies on a variety of materials to render artworks, from watercolors and acrylic paints to pens, pencils, and ink. Her approach to painting is multifaceted :whereas her alla prima compositions are reminiscent of the Impressionists, a number of her acrylic works often evoke the color-driven Fauvist works of Henri Matisse and Andre Derain, especially in their simplification of forms and saturated colors.~ Agora Gallery, NYC,2010
