Ana Costov

Ana Costov was born in 1994 in Chisinau, Republic of Moldova.
Her work is an exploration of simple, daily life, of relationships between humans and nature; it also reflects the search for true connection and ways of looking and feeling. She pulls her ideas mainly from her own experiences and surroundings.
She is currently working on three series of works: “Elements”(an abstract representation of nature and creation) “Human nature” (images based on emotions and fundamental life experiences) and “Identity” (visual documentation and exploration of the post-soviet life/context of Moldova).

She studied for a Master`s degree at the University of Art and Design in Cluj Napoca, Romania. She received a Bachelor`s degree in Graphic Arts from the same university in 2018. During her graduate studies, she completed two semesters abroad with the Erasmus+ scholarship, one at Universidad de Castilla-la Mancha (Facultad de Bellas Artes) Cuenca, Spain (2016) and one at Universidad del Pais Vasco (Faculty of Fine Arts) Bilbao, Spain (2017).
