In Ana's paintings the topic is always one - love. Her paintings have no titles, as they present couples in love in different life moments. Since these are the situations we're all familiar with, any of the characters portrayed can be one of us, you are free to name the paintings own desire or based on memory of the moment you experienced yourself.

The exhibition is a part of the project of Cultural Tourism called Passport DC and will be presented from May 2 – 7, 2009.

Opening of the exhibition is on May 2, 2009 from 10 am to 4 pm.
