Captivating paintings that transport you to different places and times

Drawing widespread acclaim throughout the art community and early comparisons to abstract legends like Jackson Pollack, Annsabelle Ramas Pronych is one of the most provocative and notable fine artists of recent memory. Her paintings are both breathtakingly-alive and immensely striking. Instantly obvious when looking at a Pronych piece is both its sheer provocation and how her work clearly channels the struggles and turmoil she has overcame on her long road road to success. Each piece evokes strong, visceral feelings of passion, joy, and melancholy; each brush stroke has a story to tell.

It’s a bit of cliché, but it remains true that over the centuries many of our most transformative artists have crafted unforgettable works from a place of profound longing and despair. Van Gogh. Goya. O’Keeffe. Vancouver, B.C. native Pronych has certainly had her fair share of ups and downs in her life. “My greatest art is sometimes inspired at the latest hours of everyday when my minds eye turns my hand into strokes of chaos,” she tells me, speaking in an obliquely poetic way. “Yesterday’s paint strokes are sometimes dark, but I see colors sometimes through the shadows of my pain.”

Fittingly, the most notable work of Pronych’s oeuvre is a piece entitled The Hidden Pain. Conceptually the painting seems like a fierce amalgamation of Pollack and Rothko, with orderly squares and solid colors being violently overthrown by chaotic smears and splashes of paint. But the overwhelming sadness is as palpable as the conceptual doggedness, its brilliance as evident as its heart-rending sorrow. And with its powerful vibrance and layered emotions, it is the kind of work that one could easily get lost in admiring for hours.

Of course, it isn’t all doom and gloom with Pronych. Take something like Calgary Life, perhaps the most lively and colorful work in the artist’s oeuvre. According to Pronych, the vibrant piece was born at a time of great confusion in her life, back when the Canadian was living in the titular city in the frigid province
