ANNA STARCK
ABOUT
Anna Stark is a painter who explores ancient mythologies as a tool for understanding the present. Stark's paintings are characterized by a dominant physical presence, where the primary motivation is to create an experience similar to the experience of observing church paintings, an experience defined by transcendental feelings.
Stark paints on canvases and paper, with expressive gestures that create a figurative image.
Her work is based on philosophical, theological, and mythological texts, which she reinterprets through her painting practice.

Made in Heaven
A series of 12 works, in a technique of marker on paper. The series examines the creation story according to Jewish tradition, presenting a contemporary perspective on the creation narrative based on the premise that Eve (the first woman) carries within her DNA associated with a dark-skinned woman.
Project "Shadow"
Inspired by Carl Jung's concept of the Shadow.
Shadow is a series of thirteen black-on-black drawings exploring the hidden dimensions of the human psyche. At first glance, each work appears as a monochrome black surface. Only the movement of light reveals the concealed image, making light an active participant in the viewing experience.
