Anya Mielniczek combines traditional fine art training with street dirt mediums, producing public art that provides a voice for environmental and social issues, community history and storytelling. 

 Inspired by nature, portraiture and found materials, her work utilizes vivid colour, while flowing between a realistic and abstract aesthetic determined by project deliverables and the artist’s continued stylistic exploration. 

​

She approaches each project as an opportunity to evoke contemplation, connection or inspiration. Anya’s material approach encourages experimentation with mix-media including latex paint, aerosol and up cycled waste, working with the mechanical application of spray, the energy of hand-brushed strokes or the texture of waste or repurposed items in mosaic form. 

​

 Ultimately, Anya’s creative goal is to paint with purpose by giving nature and communities a voice while defining a conversation with the viewer that may positively influence, excite or carry the tune of the voices and ideas present in collaborative street art projects.

 

 

As I was designing the booth, I wanted to show off all of Anya’s vibrant creations so that everyone could view them from any angle. I created an open area by keeping the centre portion unfilled and divided the room into separate areas so that her diverse collection of artwork could be shown.
