“How Little It Takes to Be Happy” is a tender visual story of an artist walking through rain — arms full of new art supplies, heart full of ideas. Wearing a fox mask and wrapped in raindrops and pink skies, she is on her way to create, glowing with simple joy and quiet confidence.
Painted in mixed media — watercolor, colored pencils, silver acrylic, and gel pen — this artwork pulses with color and emotion. The city buildings, the stormy sky, the character’s solitude and contentment — all combine into a modern urban fairy tale about creativity and freedom.
This piece is a tribute to everyone who finds inspiration in the little things. It’s a portrait of the moment between thought and creation — soft, strong, and honest.

Placement Suggestions:
1. In an art studio — to spark daily inspiration.
2. In a creative coworking or office — to encourage imagination.
3. In a teen’s or young artist’s room — as a reflection of inner life.
4. In an art café, gallery, or school — to tell a story of becoming.
5. In a cozy living space — for atmosphere and joy.

A painter and graphic artist whose works reflect a blend of traditional and contemporary elements. Her style was shaped early on under the influence of Japanese culture and aesthetics, which harmoniously merged with her inner exploration of human emotions.

Anna was born in Tomsk in 1989 into a family of artists and was surrounded by a creative atmosphere from childhood. In 2011, she graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts at Tomsk State University and has since actively participated in exhibitions across the region and beyond.

Her works stand out for their unique style — vibrant colors and attention to the details of human faces draw the viewer into a world of deep contemplation and emotional experience. Anna draws inspiration from Japanese culture and music, emotions, and internal states, which give her artworks a distinctive atmosphere.

Anna's collections explore the inner world of the modern person, revealing melancholy and loneliness that can be seen even in a crowd. The subjects of her paintings are strikingly unusual: dreams, walks, café scenes — all reflecting the connection between the inner world and external reality.

In Anna’s own words: “I create paintings inspired by nature, subtle emotions, and the internal states of a person. For me, painting is a language that allows you to speak without words. I never plan in advance what a painting will look like, how many figures it will have, or what color scheme will dominate. I don’t make sketches or preliminary drafts. Everything is born in the moment, and I love that process deeply — I dissolve into it. Line by line, the image emerges. It’s another reality. The result is always unexpected, even for me.”

Anna’s artworks are a perfect addition to any art lover’s collection, bringing not only beauty to a space but also deep emotions and reflection. Such paintings create an exquisitely sensual atmosphere in a café. Their conceptual themes spark philosophical thoughts in a hotel room or at a bar counter.
