I am an observer. I often find myself looking through a room of people searching for captivating faces that tell a story and make me want to know more about them. I wonder who they are and what made them the person they are.

Did we go through the same things?

Are you different from me?

Why have our paths crossed?

With my paintings, I am trying to capture passion, intensity, boldness in a person’s face.

Anete’s vibrant portraits draw on a huge cross-section of old and new masters. But the strongest comparisons are Tamara de Lempicka and Andy Warhol.
