About Anna
Anna Kott was born in Silesia, Poland, in 1975, and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow (Poland).
She is an artist whose journey through painting began in her childhood. She has always been fascinated by the profound complexity behind images, the world, and human existence.
Over time, Anna realized that traditional canvas painting alone was not sufficient to express the multifaceted aspects of her perception.
Therefore, she expanded her work to include various disciplines and techniques, including painting, drawing, photography, and new media.
Her fields of activity encompass concept development and implementation, as well as education and communication.
These diverse perspectives have enriched her artistic work, enabling her to continuously grow beyond herself. In a world of constant change, Anna is always in search of new paths and opportunities in her art. She views this ongoing process as an opportunity to unfold the best version of herself. Through her work, she invites viewers to join her in developing a dynamic perspective on the bigger picture.
