i think these paintings are about buddhism, because of the elephant, the bhikkhunī (religious buddhist woman) , and the signs i shows.

for me, these paintings evoke deep reflection and emotional connection. it also gives me nostalgia a bit.

the one of the two elephants attracts me the most because i prefer it.

1) I think these paintings are about India since most of them are all in common to buddhism.

2) These paintings evoke the some kind of mind control in a good way, in which your mind can only make right choices.

3) The one that attracted me the most was the woman meditating because it shows that she finally made peace with her mind and her body, meaning she can now make the right choices

The bottom-left painting is a really nice piece of work using street art techniques and has a nice meaning

I think these paintings are about peace of mind and religion.
These paintings all look different but they all give me the same feeling of loneliness and calmness, except the elephant one.
The elephant is the one that stands out the most after the buddha painting. That's because it uses very bold colors and a very bold art style as well. It conveys really harsh and even sad feelings.

1) I think these paintings represent the beauty of nature and different cultures around the world. I am really impressed with the marvelous work you did. 2) Between all these paintings, I have felt a sense of calmness. 3) My favorite one is the drawing of the jungle with the hut, because despite it's "simplicity" (which for me is impossible) you still made it so calming and pleasent to watch. I also really like the detail on the water.

joshuaspoldi1 — 2024-02-01 11:03:19 UTC

1) I think that these paintings are about peace to animals and nature and to stop them from getting endangered.

2) These paintings make me feel very relaxed and calm and also that animals should be better-taken care of.

3) The one that attracts me the most is the one with the house and the island with lots of plants because I really like plants and the way it is drawn, I also like how there is a reflection in the water.

iI think these paintings are about Buddhism and nature, maybe all of them stand for a different thing. Or maybe just feelings and moments of the year or day.iiThese paintings give me a feeling of being free with no one to actually have to do something for just being free and maybe not happy about it. iiiThe one with the two tall elephants was the one that attracted me the most because of the strong orange background and the detail and contrast everything had. I also love the way it was laid out in a simple lonely way. Also if once you observe it it looks detailed and complicated at first it feels simple.

1) I think that these paintings represent some kind of part or meaning referring or towards to a religion, one example which gave me a clear idea of this is the Buddha painting which for me really refers to a religion. 2) These painting evoke mainly peace and tranquility. Therefore they give me a relaxing feeling.3) The one of Buddha attracts me the most because of the blend and contrast of colours which are used, the colours are all really bright and appealing colours which immediately gain your attention. Additionally I also really like the type of green and the way that the green was used on the side of the screen to make leaves. Lastly I really enjoyed the type of pattern which was used on top of Buddha's head, it changes the main tone of colour by using a darker blue to give more contrast. Furthermore the pattern really matches the painting. Good Job, the use of colours was used in an amazing way to make sure that the audience's eyes would immediately go to the main point of each painting Omar Fratea G8

2) I see these paintings and they give me the expression of nature and a calm inner spirit

3) I like the one in the top left whih is the one with tall statues with yellow and orange fog effect. I like it because, first of all it looks good and also it makes me the feeling like I am there and for some reason I can really put a song behind the painting.

darinadoynova — 2024-02-01 11:05:47 UTC

1) i think they're about buddhism because of the painting of the 'buddha' and mountains. 2) I think they give a sense of calmness. but i want to know more about the meaning behind the elephants so im more interested in them. They almost give off a scary vibe. 3) probably the jungle and the house because i all the greenery and the look of it. i think its really soft and simple which i like a lot!

I think the first painting is about 2 animal friends finding each other after a lot of time, this painting evokes me the sensation of hope and tranquility,

I think its very interesting because its said that elephants are tranquil and intelligent but are never depicted for that subject, this painting evekes me the sensation go home because it remembers me of my culture traditions

This painting is really nice and very well structured, it evokes me the sensation of peace, tranquility and green space

I think this is my favourite because its really detailed and represents an important culture, this painting evokes me a sort of strange nice feeling because its a deep message and it really well explains

PS: I love the detail of the leaves stuck on the tree branches, really creative

1) In my opinion, these paintings are about being relaxed, motivated, hoping, and being happy. The Buddhist one talks about being relaxed, the one with the elephant is about hope so hoping for something, then we have one with a house and a big garden with the sea which makes me feel calm and relaxed, and the last one is showing more sunshine.

2) these paintings make me feel relaxed and happy because the images they show are soft and calm.

3) the one I like the most is the one with the house and the

garden because it makes me feel delicate and relaxed.

1) These artworks are based on buddhism. 2) The paintings evoke a mix of feelings inside of me, the rural area, or the village and the bhikkuni evoke inner peace, calmness, and lets me clear my thoughts, but the elephants let me feel, a sense of danger, or aggressivenes, especially the two elephants, as they look angered and look like they are about to attack the small house underneath them, the size of the elephants compared to the house helps as well as it makes the house seem very small. The background mountains help make the elephants seem even bigger in my opinion.

3) The most attractive is definetely the small house in the jungle for me it just makes me feel calm and feel peace, and that's just one of the feelings I really enjoy feeling once in a while.

Lastly I just want to say that you did a great job and I could never achieve this, so keep going and this for me is very impressive.

1) I think these painting represent the life and the religion in the east side of the world. How they express themselves with elephants and how important they are in their religion.

2)These paintings for me evoke Hope, Happiness, Peacefulness and freedom.

3) The one that attracts me the most is either the one foreshadowing Salvador Dalì's work and also the figure which I think is Buddha due to the warm colours both paintings give and express.

I think that this paitings rapresent South Africa, it's nature and it's animals.. The colours and the beauty.

This paitings evoke in me peace, a sense of fresh air a nature like place. It also makes me reflect about how beautiful nature really is. The colours used are soft and warm and almost gives a cozy sensation.

My favorite painting out of all of them is the one which it represent the 2 wooden houses and are immerse in nature, this is because my dream would be to live there. close to nature and experience the beauty of animal, the humidity and fresh air.

I think these paintings are about India. All four of the paintings give me a feeling that the main theme is India. I get this thought because of the elephants and because of Buddha in one of the paintings.
These painting evoke a pensive state. I am thinking about what these paintings are trying to represent. The only single painting that i can recognize is the one with the tall elephants with long legs. The rest of them make me think a lot.
I like the most the painting with a lot of trees. I really like the simplicity but at the same time complicated style of the painting. I really like paintings that are easy to understand but the more attention you pay the more things you notice.

2024-02-01 14:24:36 UTC

I think that these paintings are manly about nature since in almost all of them there is either drawn an animal or a landscape. I also think that these paintings are about nature since in the bottom left painting there are leaves in the actual painting. This paintings evoke in me a sense of relaxation but at the same time they make me wonder why did she decide to make this type of paintings and what her personal project is about. However I think that they are all beautiful in there own way and as soon as I saw the one painting that Anna put in the art exhibition I was immediately drawn. My favourite painting out of all of them will have to be the one on the bottom right. I like this painting because is both messy but really nicely drawn at the same time. I also prefer this one because it has a lot of shapes.

I believe these paintings show things related to religion, since some represent buddhism features like the Buddha painting, which makes me think about religious ideas. These can also represent endangered animals like the elephants since two of the 4 paintings depict these animals.
These paintings evoke in me feel calm and peaceful, like I'm in a quiet place. They also stand out (precisly the painting with the elephant)
I like the Buddha painting the most because of the bright colors used, especially the green for the leaves. The patterns on Buddha's head also stand out and match the painting well. Great job using colors to make the important parts of each painting stand out.

Comment

The main things that I think the paintings are about are animal poaching and/or climate change.
The paintings evoke a nervous feeling in me. For example, the painting with the elephant has so many details that it becomes almost a bit
overwhelming (in a good way of course), and it makes me feel like i should take some kind of action.
The one that attracts me the most is also the one with the elephant.
Like I mentioned, it has so many details, and it feels like the painting holds so many emotions.

1) I think these paintings are about India since they seem very similar.

2) The village and the figure that represent Buddhism evoke calmness and happiness, instead, the two paintings where there are the elephants evoke, danger.

3) The one that attracts me the most is the elephant with the crown because, by just the way it is done, you can see the meaning, plus i adore that animal

Comment

1) I think some of these paintings might be taking in consideration beliefs of either Asian (I suppose Indian) culture that represents a certain emotion or sentiment that correlates with a certain way of thinking.

2) Peace and security.

3) The interpretation of Salvador Dali's painting of the elephants, because the contrast between the pale grey and the bright orange of the two seems visually pleasing. Also because I enjoy Dalí's work as a surrealist, and it is delightful to see someone's interpretation of it.

1) I think that the paintings give a very relaxing message or probably Indian culture since since the landscapes, elephants and religion are very similar to the nation.

2) All these paintings evoke me a feeling of relaxing, calm and positive message about the paintings.

3)I like the one with the tall elephants and an orange landscape since the complexity behind it is impressive and how the colours match the look of the elephants.

I think the paintings are about Indian culture where they talk about elephants, villages, and Buddhism. it makes me evokes many different feelings such as calmness in the Buddha and village paintings and makes me feel amazed by how beautiful the elephants are in the painting two elephants I think are not very possible to see in real life and the second one is like giving me the feeling a surge of motivation and it's like telling me to not give up. But what amazed me the most were the leaves because they are very beautiful also the visual effect that it game me with the colors around the figure like it's channeling its inner energy. Anonymous

1) I think that these paintings are about the about the indian culture and how it can be expressed through art. I notice this as all the paintings contain a sense of nature and of wildlife for example the elephants in 2 of the paintings. For me this animal represents a symbol for the indian culture. the blue women figure reminds me of buddha so perhaps it has to buddhism, a god or a reference figure for a certain culture, or country.

2) this painting for me expresses a mood of motivation, relaxation and the beauty of nature. the evoke as well to me a tranquility and peaceful setting and feeling.

3) the one which attracts me the most is the one of the two elephants. This painting reminds me of the salvador dalì painting of the 2 elephants with long, thin legs. This one attracts me the most because of its beautiful sunset and the beauty of the 2 creatures. Also, i like the small house or cabin in the middle of the setting. This really caught my eye for the precision, details and the beauty of it.

1) I think these paintings are about the beauty of Africa and also buddhism. How people live and what they see.

2) Those paintings evokes me a feeling of relax, hoping, tranquility and calm.

3) The one that attracts me the most is the one with the two big elephants because a love the sky and the technic that he used. i love the fact that the elephants have long and skinny legs because is something different and a little bit weird at the same time.

1) I think that most of these paintings were based of buddhism. Because they are mostly based of buddhism i think that they were drawn because of peace, relaxation and calmness.

2) When i see these paintings most of them help me relax.

3) I personally really like the elephant that says "HOPE" it is drawn in a really cool way and i like all of the colours in it. This painting can also be seen as something for you to never give up because of the hope you might be feeling down or something but when you see this painting you might relax and think of a better time.

1) In general, I think that these paintings are about religion and culture in East Asia. I think these paintings have connections to Buddhism and represent Buddhism. I think that the first painting is about two elephants towering over a small shack. In the background a red sunset falls. I think it represents the complexion and beauty of nature. I think that the second painting is about an island with lots of wildlife and greenery with 2 small mud shacks on it. I think it represents how humans have changed nature and the beauty of nature. I think that the third painting is about an elephant graffitied. It represents hope and resiliance. I think that the final painting represents peace and prosperity and to be one with nature.

2) These paintings make me feel calm and relaxed almost as if I am in a forest just enjoying the sounds, smells and senses of nature.

3) The first one attracts me the most because the sunset is blended well and the small details on the tall elephants are done well. Overrall, I like it the most because of the bright infared background contrasting to the grey elephants and the landscape below.

2024-02-01 14:29:49 UTC

1)I Think these paintings represent the nature of India seeing nature and animals.

2)These paintings evoke me tranquility and peace.

3)the painting that I like the most is the one on the elephant because I think there is a lot of creativity and it is drawn very well.

2024-02-01 14:30:01 UTC

I think this paintings are about the eastern culture, more specifically of Thailand.
I know Anna last year went to Thailand for two weeks during the summer so I assume
that she was inspired by their culture and by their animals.
These paintings evoke in me a sense of peace and harmony as she drew landscapes and animals
that represent peace.
I feel like the bottom left painting is the one which I am more attracted to as it is beautiful and creative as she used
colours and shapes that are very eye-catching and catchy. I also like the bottom right one but i feel like the elephant one is the
best.

Comment

2024-02-01 14:30:15 UTC

I think that the painting on the top left shows a connection between two animals, and in specific two elephants. It could represent friendship and connection just like people, trying to evoke a sense of calmness and hope.

I think that the second painting represents an Asian, probably Cambodian landscape, as the features and nature makes me infer this. It has a lot of green area and the brushwork has been done with a lot of care rendering the correct effect.

I think that the bottom left painting offers a message of peace, I think it is a mixture of cultures.

This painting evokes a feeling of tranquility and spirituality as it makes me remember the religion of Buddhism. I think it is well organised and also gives inner peace.

I think that the paintings are focused on Buddhism, I think that the elephant is part of the Buddhist culture and it represented 2 times. Then, the female figure on the bottom right makes me think she is a god of the religion, as all of the features make me think this. In conclusion, the Eastern Asian landscape makes me infer that most of the people that practise this religion come from Asia especially from the landscapes that are represented in the canvas.

1) I think this paintings have to do with nature and all the beauty an caos we can find in nature. I also believe that these paintings all reflect on a certain culture I'm guessing probably from Asia. they all represent nature and culture in some way and being interconnected in their own unique way.

2) These paintings make me feel relaxed and create a serene feeling on the minds and emotions. They bring a sense of prosperity and freshness, something that contrasts our lives which are chaotic and stressful.

3)The one that attracts me the most is number one as it brings both abstract and concrete ideas together creating a fresh blend in what is reality and what is imagination. I love the predominant warm colors of the sunset and how you chose to depict the elephants with large legs. This painting as i said before mixes the idea of realism and imagination two things that are so important in our every day lives.

1) what do you think these paintings are about? -I think that these paintings are all about india and buddhism. I think so because they all gave me the feeling and vibes of india as two of them have elephants as the main object, which for me rappresent india, and in an other one I can see the Buddha which is connected to buddhism. India also has buddhism as religion. in the last one remaining I feel that is represent somewhere in a calm place in india

2) what do these paintings evoke in you? (Feelings, emotions ...) -They all evoque to me a calm feeling. Personally, I think that india is one of the best places, also because I am really into buddhism and I think it is very beautiful. All the paintings shows to me a soft and calm atmosphere which eventually makes me feel happy and calm.

3) is there one that attracts you the most, why? -I think that the one with two elephant is the most beautiful one as I love the colors in the background blended together, making a calm and mysterious atmosphere. I love the interpretation of the elephants as they are detailed and original. Additionally I feel that it is the one that attracted me the most because of the meaning behind it, I still don't know it but I would love to.

I believe that these paintings represent a specific Hindu or Indian religion. These paintings evoke in me a sense of calmness, but the one on the bottom left evokes in me certain emotions that want in some way to provoke me and to take action. In addition, the colours of the paintings are peaceful and accurate to the figures. The painting I prefer is the one on the bottom left because it expresses a message as in the word there is, "HOPE" and it makes me want to explore and understand the message it wants to send.

1) I believe that these paintings represent nature in different kind of ways. For example, the paintings with the elephants evoke the loss of habitat and the risk of extinction. The reproduction of the island evokes some sense of nature and peace and a place where no one would be disturbed. As for the image of the female figure it gives me Buddhism-like sensations.

3) the most attractive painting in my opinion is the reproduction of the very green island because I enjoy the effect of the water reflection and how Anna has used different techniques with the brushes to create the bushes, the palm tree, the roof of the house made of bamboo or hay. Finally, I enjoy how there is lots of green all around a very small painting which shows how nature is still a very important aspect of our lives you can carefully notice that the island is that green because it seems to be an empty shelter and not a house.
