Anna Heinrihsone (1970)

Anna Heinrihsone has graduated stage designing in Latvian Art Academy. And until this moment she has been making decorations and costumes for about 30 shows in various theatres in Latvia, and has earned approving valuations. However, parallel to scenography she is also painting.

It is an absolutely solitary world of images - Anna Heinrihsone's "theatre of mimes", in which every new painting is perceptible as a sequel of the last.

The artist in her paintings has directness typical to the drawing of children, and it leads us into ironical, stinging and tragicomic world of images, and the faces of the people that show their experienced revelation of lifetime - old and young -, angels, circus clowns, masks - all of them cry and laugh, grieve and pause in an emotional heighteness.
