About Anna Miklashevich
Anna is an experienced Ukrainian artist based in Slovenia. For many years, her artistic attention and visual works focused on depicting women’s actions, thoughts, and states. In her works, Anna seeks to create conditions in which the hustle and bustle of the modern world stopped and people, particularly women, have time for reflection.
When painting, Anna boldly chooses rich, contrasted, often undiluted colors and emotive, lavish, succulent strokes to create a new piece. In her opinion, women lack the courage, self-confidence, and determination to express themselves, and her paintings precisely give them this.
Her collectors say her art is reflective, affirming, captivating, lavish, expressive, and forceful.
Anna Miklashevich holds a Master’s Degree in Public Relations of Sociocultural Management. She has exhibited her paintings in Ukraine, the United States, Slovenia, Switzerland, and elsewhere.
In 2023, her painting “Let Me Be Myself” covered a book, Sensual Faith, by Lyvonne Briggs, published by Penguin House with 50,000 copies.
In addition to artistic practice, she mentors artists in art management and business, focusing much attention on supporting Ukrainian female artists. Anna is the founder of the Ukrainian visual artist community UARTIST. She also works as a curator, organizing exhibitions, advocating for Ukraine, and supporting Ukrainian art abroad.
Being a vegan for many years, she advocates for animal rights, trying to show by example that it is possible to live with animals in peace and love.
