Assimilating abstract depictions with representational organic imagery, Anya Love creates compelling and multifaceted works that explore themes of interconnectivity, polarity and duality. Utilising a combination of acrylics and oils and greatly inspired by the colours viewed in nature, in textiles and within modern interior design, her works result from a crescendo of concentrated colour layering, gesturing and mark-making.

Born and raised initially in the united states, prior to relocating to Australia during early childhood, Melbourne contemporary artist Anya Love produces distinguishing and enigmatic works that interweave abstract and representational art forms.
Balancing innate shapes with highly conceptualised renderings, these elements are depicted in a state of beautiful distortion to portray themes of interconnectivity, duality and expansion. Describing a responsive and acclimatised state of existence on the canvas, and summarising stories that resonate with her internal self, her works embody these narratives through an intense degree of mark making, organic gesturing and colour layering.
After acquiring a degree in visual arts, Anya went on to train in design prior to entering a career in the photography industry. During her fifteen-year tenure, she spend considerable time styling and methodically executing the expression of form and composition. These experiences have since become a resounding force behind the works she presently produces, and photography remains an integral component of her creative process as she shoots each independent layer of each work. Remaining unbound to a single artistic methodology, she instead directs her focus largely towards the emotional sensations that naturally materialise throughout the development process.
