ABOUT

Anna Dart has been devoted to the art since a young age. Whether using watercolors, acrylics, or cutting-edge tech, her work is renowned for its magnetic power, elegance, and emotional depth. Having lived in Spain, Switzerland, and France, Anna has drawn inspiration from the exploration of contemporary realities since 2012. Her art reflects on the very essence of what it means to be human in the time we live in, expressed through her expressive passionate artworks with a minimalist touch.

Anna’s early work has been featured in prestigious galleries, including Victor Lope Gallery (2013), Hartmann Gallery (2013), and the Arts Santa Mónica Centre (2016) in Barcelona, as well as Art Cologne (Europe’s oldest art fair) in Germany (2013, 2014, 2016). In 2022, Anna became the first artist to showcase the generative work mixed with her paintings at an outdoor exhibition in Brussels. She also exhibited her machine learning-based arts at La Gaîté Lyrique in France, marking a milestone solo show in Paris with Artpoint.

Over the last years, her art has spread globally, gracing venues in Switzerland, Spain, Belgium, France, Italy, Romania, Denmark, Germany, Canada, the USA, South Korea, China, and Japan, including the billboards of Tokyo's Shibuya Crossing. Her work has been displayed at iconic venues such as Seattle Art Museum, Times Square, Art Basel Miami, as well as on the giant 30-foot monolith screen in Seoul, South Korea. Anna Dart has also collaborated with the influential digital fashion house The Fabricant in the Netherlands, using her traditional paintings to create digital fabrics for Metaverse dresses.

Nominated as the "Best Traditional Artist Using Blockchain Technology" alongside Trevor Jones and Takashi Murakami in 2021 in New York, Anna went on to win the prestigious Art Contest in the USA in 2022, which required the use of generated networks (#ClaireAIContest). Anna Dart trained Artificial Intelligence using her traditional paintings being ahead of the curse and showcasing exceptional skill that earned her the Grant. A special jury mention praised her winning piece as 'high quality work that moves.'

Beyond painting, Anna has actively pursued the cross-pollination of visual and performing arts, creating site-specific collaborative exhibitions and performances. Her innovative approach introduces a third dimension to visual art by incorporating voice, movement, and technology. She has honed her performing arts skills at established institutions, including the Nancy Tuñón & Jordi Oliver Academy (Spain). Anna has also had an opportunity to do the training with the renowned Hofesh Shechter Dance Company (UK) and collaborated with Pau Aran of the famous Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch (Germany).

In addition to her artistic achievements, Anna Dart has made her mark as a curator. In 2021, she was invited by UN Habitat to organize a digital art exhibition at COP26, and in 2022, curated a show at the Picasso Museum during the Big Draw Festival with the Exquisite Workers collective. As a curator, she organized the iconic global exhibition, featuring 100 artists who utilize generative media in their work, including Jenni Pasanen, Roope Rainisto, and Roger Haus. The show remains the world’s largest and was held in collaboration with Superchief Gallery in NYC at the Oculus, World Trade Center in 2023.

Anna Dart is a bold voice in art today, inviting us to live a little louder and love a little deeper. Her motto? “Art with life, life without them”—the perfect mantra for an artist always one step ahead.

Currently, Anna Dart is a best-selling artist on Singulart Gallery in Paris and in the online auction house Catawiki in Amsterdam.

ANNA DART'S LOGO

Anna Dart’s logo is a butterfly, symbolizing freedom of expression and lightness, with a crown perched atop, signifying royalty and success. This combination represents the artist’s achievements and serves as a perfect symbol for collectors seeking elegance and distinction. Her artist name is written in Japanese. This reference reflects the broader tradition of Western artists drawing inspiration from Japan, such as Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, and Paul Gauguin, who embraced Japanese art for its bold colors, flat perspectives, and innovative approaches. Joan Miró and other Catalan modernists also resonated with Japanese aesthetics, blending them with their own creative explorations.

ANNA DART'S COLORS

Anna Dart’s brand is defined by a palette of blue, green, purple, and pink hues, which she often uses in her acrylic works to evoke a sense of elegance, classy presence, and excitement. Her signature style is further distinguished by the exclusive use of dark blue and grey in her watercolor pieces. Anna Dart refers to her style as "burn out photo." It gives the impression of vivid memories fading away over time. She often travels with her art, and it’s common to see slight imperfections on paper, as if we are forgetting our past, yet still holding on to it like an old, cherished object.

ANNA DART'S PAINTING TECHNIQUE

The acrylics are sometimes applied with a transparency that gives them a watercolor-like feel, other times with the boldness that shouts loud. The backgrounds sometimes reveal a maze of shapes, like Gaudí’s mosaics; other times, they are minimal and serene, like the scenery of a theater where the light only falls on the main character. Her lines flow like thoughts in motion — smooth, undulated, and fresh, inspired by Munch’s style — reflecting her belief that life is not static but full of transformation. Anna approaches her portraits as though they’re the leading stars of a movie. It’s no wonder her art feels alive — as though, in one artwork, you can sense an entire story unfolding. The characters often have a bold, captivating gaze, and as you move around the room, it feels like their eyes follow you, making them seem alive. The animals are depicted at the size of humans, as if they are soulmates, touching and breaking the hearts of so many. Dart is never afraid to experiment, always a little bit ahead of the curve. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.
