Anica strives to evoke positive emotion in her artwork and hopes it resonates with you too.
Anica finds inspiration through the intricacies of the world around us. Motivated by her love of learning about the hows and whys of nature she strives to paint mainly Australian birds, flora and landscapes with an underlying understanding of their being.
Whether the subject is portrayed in detail or not, it is important to capture its essence. This way, she hopes to express the emotion involved, evoking a positive feeling for the viewer.
Anica believes watercolour to be the ultimate medium, that helps to create a good mix of spontaneity and detail, all aiming to bring the subject to life. In saying that, she also likes to experiment with acrylics, gouache, pastels and oils.
Painting in the great outdoors provides the ultimate working environment, but isn’t always possible. Therefore, making outdoor sketches and taking photos is the next best thing. Photography is a side interest and having used many cameras, most of which have been Canon, Anica finds the Canon SX HS series to be brilliant for super-zoom, especially for birds and taking videos. Painting from her own photos adds to her uniqueness and is part of every painting’s process and journey.
