Anna Wypych, 1986 | Figurative Symbolist painter

"I take Inspiration from what I see around me, but my personal thoughts are only the starting point and inspiration for the research on the man and his condition".

Anna Wypych’s works of art transcend the commonplace, to enter the realm of the otherworldly.

The starting point of her work and also the main theme, is always a man, but Anna Wypych goes beyond physicality, as if she wants more to capture the spirit, than the body.

She develops images that evoke moods, dreams, and feelings inspired by real life, and which create a remarkably compelling narrative.

The physical nudity and sincerity of her characters has emerged as a hallmark of her work.
