Anne Simernitski - Paintings

“I consider myself an abstract expressionist. Abstract Expressionism emphasizes on spontaneity and the exploration of new emotions, feelings, and thoughts. It combines self-expression and emotional intensity. Most importantly, however, is that I want to draw attention to “moments” that may look like eternity.”

-Anne Simernitski

At thirty two, Anne Simernitski is making a regional reputation for creating artwork that range from paintings, abstract collages and illustrations.

The French native began her career as an artist back in high school when art history was part of her graduation program. Devoted to working in the arts, Anne Simernitski continued studying at the Louvre Museum School, Paris, France and later moved on to the Sorbonne Nouvelle University where she earned her BA in History of Art. Her decision to additionally earn a diploma in graphics design and multimedia at the IFIP College, Paris, only shows the very versatile and restless nature of the young artist.

Whether it was before or after her move to the United States in 2000, Anne Simernitski has constantly been involved in the endeavor of making art. She comments about her creative process, “When I paint, I become immersed into my artwork. I become aware of the way I move, the way I breathe, and the way I think. When I paint, I not only invent my own vocabulary, but also my own music. The way I connect with my art is of high importance to me since it helps me reach out to the viewers of my paintings.”
