Anna Rejoyce

Fruits in the corner of my kitchen, Saturday’s laid-back breakfast table, freshly milk-painted furniture with its belongings… These are my subject matter.

As my name gives a clue, my art is about capturing and rejoicing in ordinary moments with common objects in daily life. On each canvas, I yearn to portray love, gratitude, and homage to those somewhat insignificant or neglected stuff and give the viewer a new perspective with visual delights.

Most of my work is representational paintings in contemporary settings, and sometimes I simplify the background to give a graphic design-like look. By creating a set for a view from above or isolating the subject from the scene, I often emphasize their design and invite the viewer to see familiar things in different ways. I find joy in the progress of harmonizing the colors and bringing abstract elements like wide plains, stripes, and checkers to my paintings.
