Annael (Anelia Pavlova)
Adelaida, Australia
Bulgarian-born Australian artist working in oil painting, printmaking, drawing, illustration and ceramics. She graduated with a Master degree in Fine Arts from the Academy of Fine Arts, Sofia. Her paintings, which encompass both the figurative and the abstract, are created using classical music from composers across different periods in a unique synthesis of idea, music, and visual art. Her monoprints are created with an original printmaking technique, which she invented in the 1980’s, that brings the bright, lucid colours of oil painting to the world of the graphic medium. Numerous books have been illustrated by her as well. Besides her artistic work, she also writes poetry and children’s stories.
