50x40, acrylic on canvas, 2021
My name is Anna Van Brussel b. 1979. Szczecin. I live and create partly in Poland in Police and in Greece in Loutraki. Painting has been my passion since childhood, although I always lacked time for it...until now. Getting married, my paths crossed with a family from which came such artists as: Floris Van Acker, Johannes Van Acker, Gust Van Brussel. This motivated me a lot for creative activity. I paint mainly with acrylic on canvas. The subject of my works is mainly Greece. This beautiful country still undiscovered by me, still fascinates me with its natural beauty, climate and history. By creating I want to share what I admire about this country. I also do not despise abstractions. A big influence on my creative development is the training of drawing and painting in workshops conducted by Epsilon Art Gallery in Loutraki, Lab2Art in Loutraki and the Municipal Cultural Center in Police. I regularly participate in investment art auctions organized through various galleries and charity auctions. My works have been exhibited in the Theonogos photography and painting studio in Loutraki, in the Loutraki Municipal Library and in the Literary Gallery at the Municipal Library in Police, as well as in the group competition exhibition "ATA 2021" organized by the Namysłow Cultural Center. My paintings were also presented in the Angora Gallery series of the weekly "Angora" , and in many online galleries. In 2022, my paintings participated in a group exhibition in the building of the Chamber of Corinth organized by the Association "Alkounides" in Corinth, and in a group exhibition in the building of the City Hall of Loutraki organized by FestivArt in Loutraki. In Poland, on the other hand, my paintings have been exhibited in a solo exhibition at the Old Town Gallery in Szczecin and two group exhibitions at the Kwadrat Gallery in Poznan and the Dial Gallery in Warsaw. In addition, I am a supporter of the Silesia Tak Art Association, where I participate in joint painting projects and group exhibitions. My paintings are in both Polish and foreign collections. By profession I am an accountant by education.
