Anna's Biography: 

Anna started to paint for her friends when she was 19, each painting meant something that connected her with that person as well as what role he or she had in Anna’s life and experiences they had lived together.
Her paintings have now evolved but she still uses many nature references in her work, which is an influence of the landscape and the environment that have seen her grow.

The meaning of the paintings are all in Anna's mind. Often you might recognize many elements that are reminiscent of flowers, vegetables, monsters, masks, people, broken hearts, watchful eyes... They are all part of Anna's, beliefs, traumas, experiences, thoughts, travels ... They are a brief representation of her attempts to decipher the world around her through the artistic expression of painting.

Her pictures will also remind you of patterns for clothing, because it is also one of the fundamental concepts behind Anna's work, to transfer her art to many forms of expression and, one of the ways, is to create a dialog that can be converted into prints for clothing.

In 2013 she started the Social Fashion Monster project at the University of Fashion Design Felicidad Duce in Barcelona. It was her final design-fashion degree project in which she created monsters that come out of the paintings she created at night while she was studying her degree.

The idea for the project came from the observation of today's world, and she found inspiration in the social, political and economic chaos that surrounds us. Her project also speaks about masks, the masks that people put on to hide from the society and feel integrated.

Using these principles as a basis, she continues making an effort to capture in her paintings and designs an alternative to the globalised intercultural world that tends to devalue creativity, standardize ideas, thoughts as well as ways of dressing.

Since the project started she has participated in numerous exhibitions, contests and festivals in the UK, Germany, New Zealand and Barcelona. This has allowed her to internationalize her project and make it evolve also in line with the chances in society through time.

I 17 March – 21 April Opening 7:30pm Friday 16 March

Who am I?  What is identity? How is it formed? How is it expressed? These are questions we cannot hope to answer but Cupola has put together an exhibition of diverse works where artists have responded to the title of the exhibition, I. Painting, printmaking and photographs of various sizes and an impressive 6 foot stained glass wardrobe/alter piece share space with kiln formed glass sculptural objects and a full grown 'fashion monster' amongst other things. Portraiture and the full figure in various degrees of abstraction unsurprisingly feature quite heavily in the exhibition, although abstract work is also represented.   “The response to the open submission call for works has been impressive and more varied than we were expecting.  This is a visually arresting exhibition which will no doubt offer challenges for some but we hope that raw, sensitive and occasionally unusual expressions of self within this exhibition will strike a cord with some.”   Karen Sherwood, director. 17 artists are taking part.

Painting, printmaking, drawing, photography, glass, textiles, jewelery and sculpture are represented.

Exposició Aiguafreda Març 2018

Fotografies de la inauguració de l'exposició d'Anna Cortada​ al seu poble natal, Aiguafreda al Vallés oriental. El dia 3 de març del 2018 a les 18:00 h de la tarda es va inaugurar l'exposició de l'artista i dissenyadora de moda Anna Cortada, al casal d'avis Sant Jordi d'Aiguafreda. Aquesta exposició es podrà veure fins el dia 16 de març del 2018 en l'horari habitual del casal. Haig de donar les gràcies a totes aquelles persones que m'han ajudat a montar i que m'ajuden cada dia a fer possible que em pugui dedicar a l'art. Gerard Newell Pelejero​ Virgínia Pelejero​ Montse Bordas B​ Joan Pinyana​ A continuació us deixem unes fotografies de les obres, el dia de la inauguració i la visita dels nens de l'esplai Pica pins, que ens van sorprendre a tots, amb uns dibuixos fets per ells mateixos, basats en els quadres que es podien veure a l'exposició i finalment visitant en primera persona l'exposició i ensenyant-me els dibuixos que havien fet cadascú dels alumnes. la iniciativa va sorgir de la mestra Irene Garcia​, que intenta educar els alumnes amb la finalitat que es puguin expressar lliurament en l'art i que tinguin eines en un futur per poder expressar les seves propies emocions. Esperem que us hagi agradat l'exposició.
