Welcome our Artists - Anna Lageda
Life itself is captured in the artists’ paintings: children bathing in a fountain, people going about their business in paintings in a city landscape. The wind plays with herbs in a rural landscape. Young or not, modest or liberated, thin or not, women look at us or sit half-turned, with their heads down, from nude paintings.
The artist actively exhibits in museums, art markets and international venues, and participates in auctions. Both physically and online. Conducts master classes on watercolours and printing with printing ink using the diatypia technique. The artist paints works in watercolours and pastels, from life, and goes to plein-air paintings. The artist's works are often made in mixed media. The artist’s favourite subjects: city landscape, rural landscape, nude, still life, animals and portraits.
Colourful games
"This graphic work, made in red pastel, is a sketch from the life of the artist herself - a quiet family evening. The boys calmly play while looking at the phone, illuminating their faces with the blue light of the screen and creating a gray shadow on the objects. <..> The images of children are made just in the manner of "non finito" ("incompletion"), the details are not drawn. <..> The work is bright, but soft pastel hides the bright red color and creates a noble shade.." Curator Ksenia Redina
We are not left with a feeling of naturalness and liveliness from what is happening in the picture.

"What is diatypia? This is a technique where the drawing is made on plexiglass, and the image remains on a sheet of paper wet from water. Hence the second name “water printing”. Anna Lageda artist.

"Diatypia is one of the simplest printing techniques that does not require a printing press! It has many advantages and cultivates very important qualities for an artist - attentiveness, the ability to improvise and courage!" Anna Lageda artist.

"Watercolor painting is a rather capricious thing, and it is very difficult to control it in a raw technique. The paint spreads across the paper in completely unpredictable patterns, red flows into blue, small things suddenly become big. At the master class we will try to let go of the internal controller and enjoy the process, see the beauty in the unplanned and still subjugate the process a little." Anna Lageda artist.
