The heat of the desert, like quietly falling snow, has a silence that is palpable. As though the ground has absorbed all sound. The shrubs and bushes accept their fate, waiting. Waiting day after day for the sun to rise and the moon to appear, accepting the flowers and the thorns as a part of life.

Leaving one’s place of birth and traveling to a foreign land can be a magical journey. The pathways to creating a new home, finding a new community, adapting to a new culture, and finding one’s purpose can at times, be meandering and lush or they can be tangled and thorny.

Biography
Anna Sidana is a visual artist and large-scale oil painter. Anna’s art explores an emotional connection with her family history and heritage. Carried away by the pull of society, and as an immigrant, she felt disconnected from her culture.
Searching for a connection, Anna stumbled upon hazy childhood memories of playing hide-and-seek in the mango orchards amongst peacocks and running free in the cotton fields at her family farm in Rajasthan, India. Those memories became a source of inspiration and a central theme in Anna’s work. Straddling abstraction and representation, Anna seeks to engage the viewer in an enchanting and make-belief emotional place rather than laying bare the harsh realities of life. Anna is an award-winning artist who has shown her work twice at the de Young Museum of San Francisco, Marin Museum of Contemporary Art, The Diego Rivera Gallery, and Times Square, New York amongst others. She has participated in Solo shows, was selected for the London Art Biennale and has participated in several prestigious, and global Artist Residencies.
Anna is represented by the Pamela Walsh Gallery, Palo Alto, CA.
