Anna GIGON

Anna GIGON, lives between Switzerland and France. She spent her childhood in Poland, where she began painting at age six in the studio of a family friend. She studied at Adam Mickiewicz University, focusing on art history but her passion for painting eventually led her to pursue art full-time.

Her work mostly in oil primarily explores femininity and its connection to space through figurative painting. It is often inspired by women’s photos on Instagram “because the settings are ready to be used” she says. She creates narrative scenes that invite viewer’s own interpretation, particularly enjoying the subject Léanne Ansar, American top model, because of her theatrical staging that borders drama and humor.

Residing in the picturesque Lake Geneva area, she regularly engages in plein-air painting, influenced by the landscape and mentorship from Marc Dalessio.

In addition to her figurative work, she experiences spontaneous periods of abstraction that allow her to explore creativity freely, mixing various techniques and inspirations, including ancient decorative objects.

As a self-taught artist, she draws from diverse influences, aiming to remain connected to her era and personal experiences in her art.

Anna Gigon has exhibited extensively and is represented by the following galleries:

ARTIO GALLERY, TORONTO CANADA

GALERIA AZUR, NEW YORK-MADRID-BERLIN-MIAMI-BUENOS AIRES
