Anna Dart - Protagonist
Protagonist - UNIQUE - 29x40 cm - RARE RELEASE
In this quietly captivating piece, we catch a young woman mid-motion—undressing, unbothered, and entirely in her element. With just her back visible, she’s sculpted like a memory: soft lines, strong posture, and that elusive grace only the unaware seem to have. Anna Dart treats the body like a whisper from a dream—something to admire, not intrude upon. There’s someone else in the room, perhaps. Or maybe it’s us. Either way, she knows she’s being watched, and she doesn’t seem to mind. A gentle reminder that letting go might just be the most beautiful thing we can do.
Original watercolour painting on paper (2020). Created in a signature black watercolor, characterised by a distinctive "burn-out photographic effect" that define Anna Dart's unique artistic style and that aims to recreate the sensation of memories that have long passed but remain vivid. Slight imperfections and wrinkles are present on the paper, intentionally added by the artist to evoke an old-image effect, enhancing the piece's nostalgic and timeless feel. Please note that the colors may slightly vary due to camera settings or the time of day. Delivered with a hand-signed certificate of authenticity. Shipped in a sturdy carton envelope.
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Renowned for its magnetic power, elegance, and emotional depth, Anna Dart's work explores the essence of being human in a cold cyber society—where we sometimes forget how to feel. Having lived in Spain, Switzerland, and France, Anna has drawn inspiration from contemporary realities. Her early works debuted with flair in prestigious galleries like Victor Lope Gallery (2013) and Europe’s oldest art fair, Art Cologne (2013, 2014, 2016). Since then, her art has gone global, captivating audiences in Switzerland, Spain, Belgium, France, Canada, the USA, South Korea, China, and Japan etc.—including prime spots like the billboards of Tokyo's Shibuya Crossing and a massive 30-foot monolith screen in Seoul. Anna approaches her portraits like they’re the leading stars of a movie. It’s no wonder her art feels alive—as though in one artwork, for a moment, you can sense an entire story unfolding. Anna’s motto, “Art with frames, life without them,” reflects her constant spirit of experimentation.
