"Quick, easy and bright: this is the way I draw, the same way I live. My art is a reflection of my life, a reflection of myself..." Anna Razumovskaya is best known for classic, romantic figures that carry a sense of elegance and grace. They possess an aura associated with the Renaissance yet due to Anna’s signature expressive, dynamic technique, they are refreshingly modern. Anna is a graduate of the Russian State University for Arts, where she was awarded the distinction of high-class artist in 1991 Born at the height of the Cold War, Anna was exposed to very different worlds. She experienced the austere world of the communist regime alongside the sophisticated and feminine influence of her fashion-conscious mother. She excelled at the Russian State University for Arts (where she was awarded the distinction of high-class artist in 1991), and enjoyed the freedom of learning and perfecting her technique in a variety of different media. Of particular interest to her were the portrait masters of the late 19th Century, John Singer Sargent, the Russian painter Valentin Serov, and earlier masters such as Peter Paul Rubens and Rembrandt. She traveled around Europe absorbing the influences of artists, and finally settled in Canada which she now feels to be her true home. Anna’s eclectic mix of experiences has enabled her to create a truly unique signature style that resonates with those who share her passion for life. She is a great believer in art’s power to heal, transform and inspire others in their journey. "...If an artist were asked what he was thinking of while creating his work, he would hardly give a reasonable answer to that question. This process cannot be analyzed. It is like a miracle. You are just drawing and that is all... simply not thinking of anything definite. The moment you start thinking, that's it - you make an unnecessary stroke or add an unnecessary detail. God knows how it all happens. Pleasure, passion, joy here are characteristics of this process."
