Looking at Anna Razumovskaya's works you always getting a feeling of artist sole tension behind the painting... "romanticism" is the word to describe Anna's works...interlacing of a quiet tones with the bright color impact at the end is the trade mark of the artist...abstract elements is the big aspect of every artwork and, in a combination with the sensual dynamics, creates an unforgettable experience for the viewer.

"...If an artist were asked what he was thinking of while creating his work, he would hardly give a reasonable answer to that question. This process cannot be analyzed. It is like a miracle.

You are just drawing and that is all... simply not thinking of anything definite. The moment you start thinking... that's it- you make an unnecessary stroke or add an unnecessary detail. God knows how it all happens. Pleasure, passion, joy here are characteristics of this process."
