About BEVANA Ana Manzke's paintings ...

The way she paints shows clearly that she comes from a foreign country where LIFE, COLOURS, GAIETY and RHYTHM play important roles. It is easy to succumb to the charms of her colours. Her light painting tends towards Modernity. Mimesis and illusion are her means of expression on the canvas.

At night, she dreams of the colours that inspire her. Her style is influenced by Barnett Newman, San Francis, Jean-Paul Riopelle, Gustav Klimt and Umberto Boccioni.

Some painters draw houses, landscapes, flowers and fruit. SHE paints to stimulate the imagination of others. Her paintings are nameless and still have many names ... They virtually beam with joy, power and vitality. They are a source of inspiration and encourage the viewer to live a more cheerful and daring life.
