Anna Valieva was born in 1984 in the city of Kyiv,
Ukraine, in a sculptor’s family. In 2002, Anna
graduated from the State school named after Taras
Shevchenko and entered the Department of Painting
of the Kyiv National Academy of Fine Arts and
Architecture, where she studied monumental
painting until 2008 at N.A. Storozhenko’s workshop.
Meanwhile, Anna’s individual approach started to
form as an artist experimenting with such materials
as canvas, coal, oil and metal. She has developed her
artistic technique based on the use of padding
polyester and enamel. Since 2006 Anna has been a
scholar of the National Academy and of the Natalya
and Ernest Gulak Foundation.
Since 2008 Anna Valieva has been acting as a
member of the Artists’ Union of Ukraine. During the
same year the artist was awarded a price by the Kyiv
city mayor for the considerable contributions of the
youth made to the development of Kyiv, the capital of
Ukraine.
