anna stakanova - Frosty Sunset

The painting "Frosty Sunset" depicts a snow-covered landscape in the mountains. Snowy hills and a lonely church are in the foreground, while mountain peaks and a setting sun can be seen in the distance. The artist's technique is impasto, with visible strokes of a palette knife on the surface of the painting. This adds depth to the landscape, allowing us to feel its cold majesty.

About the painter: Anna Stakanova's creative path began with her studies at the Belarusian State Academy of Arts (2004-2009), where she experimented with different techniques and mediums and developed her unique artistic style. She combines impasto strokes of oil paint with a palette knife on the canvas to convey emotional expression, as well as subtle brush strokes to complete the detail.

The contrast between the greatness of nature and the insignificance of man became the central theme of creativity. Her paintings often depict dramatic landscapes, highlighting the sense of limitations and vulnerability that viewers can experience. It is an invitation to appreciate the wonder of the world around us and to reflect on our place on the planet.

Anna's paintings are in private collections in the USA, UK, EU, and CIS.
