Ana Sneeringer
Ana Sneeringer is a Slovenian artist residing in Montgomery, AL, USA. Having started her career in documentary journalism as a director of an environmental television station, Ana’s experiences across Jordan, France, Russia, the USA, the Dominican Republic, the Netherlands, and India led her to express her observations and learnings in her contemporary artworks. Women or the female presence form the epicenter of her artistic exploration and stories. Living around the world and engaging with women from different cultures, Ana’s encounters resonated with the similarities of emotions and experiences everywhere rather than the disparities of race or color. As a result, her artistic canvas is a vivid kaleidoscopic world of thoughts, emotions, and experiences shared by the modern woman. Entirely self-taught, Ana finds liberation in employing free will and speaking from her heart, unconfined by a learned discipline. Whether in watercolor, acrylic, or digital media, she gives herself the freedom to experiment based on her subject matter.
Ana’s art has been exhibited internationally in the United Arab Emirates, Italy, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, India, and Switzerland. Sneeringer has been featured in many arts and interior world-recognized magazines, such as Beautiful Bizarre, Harper’s Bazaar Interiors, and more.
In 2020, one of her artworks was exhibited and is now part of the collection at one of three national museums in India, the Salar Jung Museum in Hyderabad. In December 2022, her artwork was exhibited on the screens of Times Square in NYC.
Artist Statement
In my artistic exploration, I delve into the intricate journey of a woman navigating the labyrinth of life in search of home and tranquility. Through a blend of floral motifs and Western symbolism, my work becomes a visual narrative of feminine resilience and evolution amidst the chaos of existence. Reflecting upon deserted landscapes and the internal quest for self-acceptance, I unravel the threads of unexplored thoughts, guiding her back to nostalgic places and reminding her of her profound personal growth.
Each piece in this collection serves as an invitation to delve into the profound influence of nature, offering solace and sanctuary to the weary soul. At the heart of this trailblazing woman's odyssey lies the pivotal recognition of her inner strength, the driving force propelling her towards triumph over the most formidable obstacles. Embracing discomfort becomes her anthem as she confronts her fears head-on, discovering a reservoir of power within vulnerability.
Through subtle gradations of paint, I imbue my compositions with the vibrant hues of nature, echoing the intensity and empowerment found in its palette. This nuanced use of color reinforces the overarching narrative of self-empowerment, celebrating the courage and self-discovery inherent in every woman's journey. In essence, my collection becomes a homage to the transformative beauty that emerges when one embraces oneself amidst life's tumultuous currents.
