Ana Pušica is an artist whose work is a testament to the power of the creative act. For her, the act of painting is a fusion of physical impulses and visual imagination, where the very process of creation is of utmost importance. Her paintings are a reflection of her subjectivity, revealing the poetry of her inner world, filled with memories, ideas, and inspirations from her favourite authors.
In Ana’s art, the gesture is as significant as the subject matter. It unveils the impulses and movements that give life to her thoughts. Living in her own bubble, she finds her true expression through her work, which is direct, intuitive, and full of energy. Working on large formats allows her to infuse concentrated force onto the canvas, resulting in an art that is physically dynamic and in motion.
Ana embraces a variety of techniques and surfaces in her paintings, creating new and interesting layers through the repetition of motifs and the use of different movements and gestures. The colors play a crucial role in developing materiality and dynamism, inviting the viewer to discern their own stories within the figures. Her artwork oscillates between non-abstract and not strictly figurative, allowing associations to emerge, like red-hot magma or cheeky pinks and oranges. This gives her work an ‘intense lightness,’ where multiple layers of potential meaning reside.
Born in Valjevo, Serbia in 1982, Ana Pušica now lives and works in Munich, Germany, continuing her artistic exploration of the interplay between imagination, gesture, and color, inviting viewers to embark on a journey of interpretation and introspection.
