Anna Madyarova
Anna Madyarova is a multidisciplinary artist and founder of eto YA* studio based in Melbourne. Throughout her life, Anna has been involved in a variety of creative activities: dance, drama performance, modelling, fashion, art and crafts. To her, they all come from one creative landscape and allow for a rich multidisciplinary approach.
Her artworks strive to spread the feeling of self-love, beauty and making every moment meaningful. Anna is particularly interested in how art fits into spaces and interiors, turning boring, unremarkable into surreal and comical, and portraying the simple, graceful beauty of nature.
