About the artist
Anna Wypych (b. 1986) is one of those artists whose paintings become more interesting the more you know about her. A painter based in Gdynia, Poland, Anna has always marched to the beat of her own drum and has never liked to blend in with the crowd. She reads copious amounts of poetry and philosophy, and concepts and ideas inspired by those readings or her own ruminations often become the starting point of her mesmerizing paintings. As a full-time artist who is also a mother and wife, Anna typically paints women displaying multifaceted strengths, such as determination, passion, and positivity.
