 "The works created by Anna Demianiuk - a 24-year-old resident of the small town of Meszna - are multi-coloured and captivating. Their village-fair beauty makes it impossible for them to go unnoticed. We can't help but keep rediscovering and re-experiencing these outlandish worlds whose dynamic yet brocaded beauty never ceases to amaze. Typically for naive art, it makes us think and brings smiles to our faces. Three years ago, Anna joined the art group Atelier which is based in the community centre Kubiszówka in Bielko-Biała. Despite young age and shortage of artistic education, the artist has found her niche and recently become very successful.

Anna Demianiuk draws her inspiration from the plant and animal worlds, as well as human figures arranged in pile up masses and subsequently filled with pure colours. These strange and beautiful worlds fill us with both surprise and lightness, captivating us with their authenticity."
