For my final blog I decided to research an artist on Inkteraction. One particular artist whose work stood out to me was Anna G. Torfadottir. Anna Is from Iceland and I was very interested in how her culture and natural surroundings inspired her artwork. Several pieces in the collection on inkteraction are about the natural scenery of Iceland, these pieces often include photographs that Anna has taken herself of mountains, and birds. They are especially beautiful because of her color choices, which are usually very soft, light colors for the majority of each piece and then she adds bright vivid colors in small areas. I found more of Anna's work on other websites and it seems like she is really inspired by the ravens that live around her home, in these pieces it seems apparent that she is also inspired by native american culture, because of the way she draws some of the animals. The other work that she has featured on Inkteraction is more intense than the work focused on her natural surroundings. In these pieces she uses richer colors and powerful emotions, which really drew me into her artwork. Anna also uses more layers in her later works, which adds to their intensity.
Anna's work is aesthetically pleasing and very intriguing. I would love to learn more about her work because it is so emotional and intense, even though there was no artists' statement I felt a connection to her art.
