All surrealistic pen and ink drawings and etchings of Anna Plavinskaya are fulfilling from nature in size of the original. Founding interesting objects in nature (mostly the trees) the artist doesn't pursue foisting the definite concept to observers but to allow their imagination to run riot.

Anna was born in Moscow, Russia in 1960. She studied at the Academy of Art and Theater in Moscow 1976-1980.
Since 1989 she naturalized, living and working in New York, USA.
She received many important awards and recognitions for her works:
