Anna Johansson
watercolor artist & illustrator
I am a watercolor artist originally from Sweden. I am also a wife, mother and grandmother of three sparkling children. I love challenges, freedom, the infinite expansive sky, magic, ancient wisdom and meditation. I am also trying to live the life of a yogi, focusing my attention to live with compassion and kindness.
Images and beauty have always held an attraction for me - that is how I like to communicate. It feels more natural to me to express myself through my art rather than through words. My preferred media is watercolor, pencil and ink.
I love to be immersed in my studio, and I love to paint bhakti inspired art. I also like to explore different techniques in watercolor and to teach. The field of fine art expression seems to be as endless as the infinite sky.
There is so much to discover and tons of inspiration in India’s ancient history and tradition. I never get tired of collecting visual images, either in my mind when I am reading stories, or from the internet when I am looking for references for a particular painting. I don’t know if any other culture in the world can come close the the richness of India’s cultural and spiritual heritage.
I hope you will find something in my pages that inspires you .
