Anna Madyarova
Anna Madyarova is a multidisciplinary artist and founder of eto YA* studio based in Melbourne. Throughout her creative career, 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.
Through her work, Anna explores the depths of the human spirit and the profound sense of liberation that comes from within. True happiness is a state of being that is not dictated by circumstances but cultivated through self-awareness and acceptance. It is the freedom to be authentically oneself, to live a life aligned with one's values and passions.
