Artist Statement:
. www.annett-bank.co.uk
Focused on the coexistence
between silence and dynamic,
my main aim is to depict the
human face as concentrated as
possible and arrive at an
image of intense energy and
elegance. My ideas come from
the esoteric conceptof
‘dynamic meditation’,which is
executed when one is in a
state of heightened awareness
and conscious presence. Here,
one is to feel a deep
stillness, peace and joy, but
simultaneously experiences
sensations of intense
aliveness, power and radiance.
Influenced by the German
Expressionism of my home
country, I have always been
interested in the colorful
representation of the
figure.Whilst studying for my
BA(Hons) at Northbrook College
Sussex, I felt drawn to
develop ambiguous body forms
engaged in enigmatic actions
and by fusing the real with
the dreamlike, my work has
essentially become, what I
believe to be a potential
representation of our true
nature seen from the
perspective of metaphysics. My
work thus carries a certain
spiritual connotation as it
strives to picture an ideal of
harmony, balance and stability
within the human being in an
otherwise ever faster moving
world. ...

is professional, efficient,
