A native resident of Salvador, Bahia, Ana Sant’Anna (1992) is a visual artist who holds a master’s degree in Communication and Semiotics from the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo (PUC-SP) in the research line of Creation Processes in Communication and Culture, as well as an undergraduate degree in Museology from the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA).
Working with multiple languages, the artist’s production highlights the subtlety of determined phenomena, such as luminosity, transience, and experience with non-chronological time. Accordingly, connections with the places where she lives encourage her to develop an investigation that reveals her enchantment with the energies of simplicity and complexity of nature brought to the surface. Her sensitive landscapes, archetypes of the universal and the intimate, dissolutions between real and abstract imagery are real proof of her investigative matrix in the visual arts.
In her artistic trajectory, she received the Branco de Melo award (2022), from the Cultural Foundation of Pará, which resulted in the exhibition “Vazios Incompletos,” held at Galeria Ruy Meira in Belém, Pará. She also participated in the exhibition “Você consegue me ver?” at the Ribeirão Preto Art Museum (MARP), in the 17th Ubatuba Visual Arts Salon, in the exhibition “Em Rede(s)” developed online by the Artsoul platform in 2021, in the 17th National Salon of Contemporary Art in Guarulhos, which took place in person in 2021, and in the 18th edition of the Ribeirão Preto Art Museum Exhibition Program, held in 2021 at the MARP.
