Biography

Anna Chekh, the multidisciplinary contemporary Ukrainian-born artist, embarked on her creative journey in the enchanting town of Dnipro, Ukraine. Her early fascination with art led her to attend art classes, shaping her innate talent. Despite her artistic passion, she graduated advertising and public relations at the National University in Kiev, recognizing the instability that often accompanies a life of artists.

At the moment of flourishing career like an art director, Chekh decided to change trajectory and build her artist’s solo way coming back to her children’s dream. Her art has rapidly gained popularity and reached a wide international level.

Chekh's artistic oeuvre transcends conventional boundaries, seamlessly blending traditional canvas painting with cutting-edge technology. Her portfolio encompasses 3D printed artworks, sculptures, digital art, NFTs, and interactive installations, showcasing her commitment to pushing artistic frontiers.

Art journey

Anna Chekh is a representative of contemporary art expressed in various forms and meanings. Her artworks are dedicated to societal issues. No one could express modern society as vividly and unequivocally her main character - the Shadow Man. A faceless character with values in hand, he embodies the image of our generation. As a multidisciplinary artist, Anna Chekh extends her creative vision across various mediums, from traditional canvases and sculptures to cutting-edge NFTs, interactive installations, and innovative 3D pictures and web 3.0 projects. Her artworks, celebrated for their depth and innovation, have been showcased at esteemed venues worldwide from New York and Tokyo to Bangkok and Dubai, including the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris and Victoria&Albert Museum in London. Anna has received numerous prestigious awards, including Best Innovative NFT 2024 and Best PhygitalNFT 2023 (Dubai, Burj Khalifa).

Artist statement

Through artworks the artist aim to capture the spirit of our times and reflect the complex nature of contemporary existence. Anna believes that we are all Shadow Men. We navigate the world, engaging with it on multiple levels, yet we instinctively shield parts of ourselves from the external gaze. Like all of us, Shadow Man explores everything around him, immersing himself in the thick of things. Yet, he chooses to stay in the shadows and remain faceless, preserving his private life, values, and secrets from the public eye.

Artist’s work invites viewers to contemplate this duality within their own lives — the balance between what we reveal and what we conceal, the public persona and the private self. Through Shadow Man as the main art character, Chekh depicts these ideas in a catchy and artistic way.

All her artworks carry a deep sense, revealing people’s behavior patterns and social masks. Anna strives to create a space for reflection and connection. Her art seeks to evoke a sense of shared experience and understanding, highlighting the universal human condition.
