Anna Roberts Paints Pure Reality

Roberts paints on cotton paper, using soft pastels and sponges to mix the colors. Inspired by a trip to Portugal, her pieces are full of daydream-like scenery. Roberts captures peaceful sentiments of wandering the backstreets of hilltop Spanish towns with a cool breeze, or sitting in a cafe in southern France, watching the world go by. Throughout the body of work, Roberts presents a viewer with a mixture of subjects, subtly related by common themes and colours. The artist explains, “I always find while visiting new places my senses are heightened. When travelling I can be completely present, making it easy to notice all those cool little moments I’d like to keep.”
