Anna VAN BRUSSEL, Gerania

40x50, acrylic on canvas,2023

She lives and creates partly in Poland in Police, and in Greece in Loutraki. Painting has been her passion since childhood, although she has always lacked time for it. Getting married, her paths crossed with her family, from which came such artists as: Floris Van Acker, Johannes Van Acker and Gust Van Brussel. This was a motivation for her creative activity. She paints mainly with acrylic on canvas. The subject of her works is Greece - a beautiful country still undiscovered by the author, fascinating for its natural beauty, climate and history. By creating, she wants to share what she admires about this country. She also works in abstractions. She was greatly influenced in her creative development by learning drawing and painting in workshops conducted by Epsilon Art Gallery in Loutraki, Lab2Art in Loutraki and the Municipal Cultural Center in Police.
