Anna Wypych
Artist Statement
"My paintings tell stories about feelings and thoughts. I concentrate on the human condition as this is what fascinates me. It is the main motivation to my whole art activity. I believe in people, that we are good, strong and wise. But what hypnotizes me the most is an inner power, the strength of character, that elusive factor which makes a difference in each person. This is what I attempt to capture."
