AnoukArtStudio

Anouk is a project conceived by Anna Monaco and was born out of the desire to merge the themes and languages that characterize her work and her artistic research.
The themes come from her land, from the places where she finds strong connections, from myths and legends, from sacred art and ancient statuary. A kaleidoscope of light, color, matter, and nature feeds her production.

Anna's artistic training is the evolution of her initial studies at the art school which then further deepened at the Academy of Fine Arts of Naples, where she got graduated in Sculpture. There she had the opportunity to find the artistic and cultural references that influence her production.

Albeit the sculpture does offer her the tools to learn about materials and to experiment with different techniques, it is essential in determining Anna's approach and method in her entire body of work.

During her studies at the Fine Arts Academy, she got enraptured by analog photography becoming interested in the photographic language and medium. That led Anna to approach photojournalism.
The first step in her career as a photographer was by joining the Agenzia Controluce. She became a member of the Italian Union of Journalists and she had collaborations with national and international newspapers and magazines.

Anna is a freelance photographer. Her photographic research currently embraces the photographic portrait. She also teaches portrait photography at the Neapolitan headquarters of the Rea Academy. Hi, I'm Anna Monaco, a Neapolitan artist.

Anouk is my project, born from the desire to blend the themes and languages ​​that characterize my work and my artistic research.

The themes of my artworks come from my homeland, from myths and legends, from places where I find strong connections, from sacred art, Neapolitan symbols, and ancient statuary.

My sources of inspiration are the Mediterranean landscapes, the Amalfi Coast, Tuscany, and various Italian regions, as well as Greek and Roman classicism.

My artistic study at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples, where I graduated in Sculpture, has provided me with the artistic and cultural references that influence my work. I am attracted to timeless iconic statues, whose form and color play a fundamental role in my work.

A kaleidoscope of light, color, material, and nature fuels my artistic production.

All works are created by me in my studio in Naples and printed by a professional art lab, where I personally supervise every step of the printing process.

All prints are shipped by me after quality control.

Discover works that bring a touch of Italy, mythology, and classical beauty into your home!

Thank you,
Anouk
