Anna Lucia Silfvast is a Finnish painter whose expressive works burst with vivid color, bold movement, and emotion. Her inspiration flows from nature, dreams, films, and the fleeting beauty of everyday life — and often, from dogs, who frequently find their way into her paintings.

​

For Anna Lucia, painting is as much about the process as the subject itself. Sometimes, the creative impulse comes simply from the feel of the materials — the texture of the surface, the richness of the pigments, the rhythm of the hand in motion. She is not drawn to realism; that’s what the camera is for. Instead, her work seeks to communicate emotion, shift perception, and invite viewers into a deeply sensory experience.

A full-time professional painter for over 15 years, Anna Lucia has also shared her passion for creativity through teaching Expressive Painting since 2013.
