Anna Nemes

Anna Nemes was born in 1989 in Budapest, Hungary.
She lives and works in Budapest, Hungary.

Anna Nemes paints people transparently as if they had no weight, but they do not lose their true nature by doing so – they are what they are: fallible human beings. She paints very personal pictures, her friends, her family and herself. By the one hand sensual, on the other hand suffering representation of her characters, the artist manages to create a certain familiarity between the viewer and the person portrayed. Nevertheless, mysterious secrets seem to surround the characters, leaving the viewer room for reflection and interpretation.
