The Crimson Iris Painting

 Anna Ayash, a passionate painter from Ir Yamim, Netanya, uniquely combines her life's contrasting aspects, working in the medical faculty at Tel Aviv University by day and being an expressive, intuitive, and passionate painter by night. Her art is characterized by vibrant colors that deeply engage the observer. Ayash's unique language in art comprises the foundational elements of visual arts, exploring contrasts between figurative and abstract, line and stain, delicacy and roughness, naivety and maturity, colorful and monochromatic. She freely navigates between intense, rhythmic contact and soft, lyrical touches on the canvas, spontaneously creating imaginative richness and an uncontrollable burst of colors that initially sharpen the senses and later trigger associations, much like music that evokes associations and stimulates imagination through a visceral experience. Ayash paints in a contemporary abstract style with brushes and hands, creating series that vary in color palette based on her mood. Since she began painting, she has developed a visual artistic language that reflects her years-long search, turning painting into a daily journey of emotional transitions and personal changes. Each creation serves as a starting point for a deep introspective and existential contemplation on life's essence and human purpose. Her colors and the way they are applied on the canvas express her life, past, and the future they foresee. Ayash does not pre-select themes or compositions but works spontaneously based on her mood during the creation period. Her works are universal and easily relatable, with each painting undergoing transformations until it reaches optimal composition and harmony. The changing states of Anna's colors transform from one creation to another, with paint spots changing shape and volume, sometimes appearing as topographic stains, lines, nature, flowers, or bursts of emotions, always characterized by the wonderful combination of hues in soft or hard brush strokes. The canvas feels what she feels. Anna Ayash is an intelligent and noble artist who combines spontaneity and emotional intuition on her journey, inviting the viewer to join her on an imaginary station to identify with the colors and moods and to move on to another location in their own journey. Ayash exhibits her work in Israel and internationally, in Vienna and London.
