Anna Toth sense of magnificence and glitter like diamonds is part of her impulsive and independantly minded character. Anna culminates with all her inner pleasure of color and diversity and creativity. Shaping her life towards a passion, finding it difficult to stagnate in darker shades. Colours seem to have manifested itself in her early years between the bright coloured painted wooden Russian dolls, in the market of her childhood in Budapest and watching her father transforming everyday objects. As Anna say's "his eyes were alway's open" even a simple walk in the street was the result of finding something to use, transform or decorate.
Running away from a political situation, dark obscure statues and buildings of Budapest, Anna ran towards countries of color, Guyanna, Brazil, then back to Europe where she finally settles in the Basque country. Color came back into her hands starting by the grey pebbles from the beaches that she brightly painted and made rings, then Anna started to sculpt stone and mosaic work greatly influenced by the Russian painter Kandinsky. His increasingly geometric manner his "age of conscious creation" working in a timeless manner helping as Anna say's "feeling at ease with life and ones self". Anna loves Vasarely the Hungarian painter with his harmonic color, his geometric modular "vocabulary" of forms used in infinitely variable relationships in art.
Anna
abstract expressionism spurts out towards an everending impulse of
color, form, active, rotating with an immense sense of hummanity and an
almost "childish" universe that pleases and touches all ages.
