Anna for a long time was engaged in painting the walls with acrylic in the interiors (more than 14 years). This type of painting was dominated by detailing, realism of plots.

A new stage in the work of Anna began, new facets and directions in painting are revealed.
Recently, the artist's paintings show a more expressive performance technique. Color gamut from monochrome to bright tones. Anna works with new forms, sometimes moving away from realism. A lyrical note appears in the paintings.
