Diana Ananina was born 1940 in Khabarovsk, Russia. Shortly after her birth her father died and the family decided to return to the homeland Latvia. She spends her childhood and youth in a small town Mitava. This is a picturesque middle-age town with old narrow streets and mysterious lanes. Growing up in this picturesque town prints in the young soul the values of aesthetics and beauty. After finishing the school Diana starts studies at the Moscow State University for Physics. The graduation is followed by the doctorate; in 1975 she receives the PhD in Physics – a perfect harmony between a woman and science. Having turned 40, Diana quits her profession and starts a new path. Since those days fine arts are in the centre of her life. She studies painting and graphics at the faculty for arts education in Moscow. This brings a healing change for her soul. For five years she studies by professor Unkovsky painting, composition, drawing and anatomy. And the history of arts, what becomes her big passion. She models herself on such big masters as el Greco, Rembrandt, Toulouse-Lautrec and F. Hals. Their great works inspire her to create her own manifold pieces of art. In 1996 Diana Ananina moves to Munich…looks around…likes a lot, being at the same time disturbed by certain things in the modern arts, things she does not want to accept. So looks she for her own path again, she wants to develop her own style. Her goal is to bond the arts and sensuousness. She protects painting as handwork. Her strong points are: expressive portraits, colourful still-lifes, landscapes in oil, acryl and aquarelle, as well as Japanese ink graphics, art-collages and abstract mix techniques. Also shall be mentioned bold and swinging crayon drawings of nude models, getting alive under the viewers eye. In the last years she started using the modern equipment, so that her camera and computerised picture processing deliver digital pieces of art, grasped from the real life. Diana Ananina held numerous exhibitions in Moscow. In 2002, 2003 and 2004 she took part in the exhibitions of the House of Arts in Munich. She also presented personal exhibitions in Munich in 1999 and 2005. Further exhibitions between 2008 and 2011.
