Anna Stangl's artistic practice focuses on drawings, which she executes in various media such as ink, oil pastels, charcoal and colored pencils on paper or cardboard. Her works are poetic and figurative, often depicting female bodies, animals and plants in fairytale-like, dreamlike landscapes. Her fine but definite lines lend her works a delicate sensuality, while subtle allusions hint at the enigmatic and profound aspects of existence. With her unique style, she subtly explores global changes and reflects their impact on nature.
