Oil on canvas, 50 x 70 cm; signed on the reverse "Anna Wypych"
comes with a certificate of authenticity
Born in 1965, the painter lives and works in Gdynia. In 2011 she graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk, defending her diploma in the studio of Prof. Maciej Swieszewski. As she herself writes, her painting combines representational realism with elements of hyperrealism, surrealism and "pure imagination." She has been repeatedly recognized by critics and awarded prestigious prizes at international competitions, including "Best in Show" and "Pioneer in Realism" in 2020 at the fifteenth annual exhibition of the International Guild of Realism and, "Purchase Award" of the "14th International Salon of Art Renewal Center"(2019).The subject of her works is human beings, in fact, the vast majority of them are paintings of women, nudes, but not only, in which the artist tries to include not so much the physical figure as a spiritual reflection of the portrayed. In her own words: "I focus on the human condition, and this is what fascinates me the most and is the main part of my entire artistic activity." Anna Wypych's paintings, painted on the basis of photographs, preceded by sessions with models, hours of preparation, showing the authenticity of a human being without embellishment and idealization of the body, are formally part of the current of hyperrealism. However, the artist departs from the simple imitation of reality by introducing her visions and imaginations into the paintings.
