48 notes. 48 paintings. One whole year of my life.
I wish every child feels held, every parent stays, every home feels full.
i cherish the daily moments the most, the small ones, the ones that seem ordinary but are actually everything, a hand held, a laugh shared, a quiet morning together.
that's what I paint, that's what I want to give, a reminder to hold your loved ones close, to keep them together, to never take it for granted.
because family isn't perfect, but it's everything

Shine within - it comes out. As always, I say that everything comes from our own inner world, from ourselves. That's why it's the most important and the best friend. Just having this thought in mind keeps me feeling better - standing in front of the beach, listening to the waves.

This painting is about being close to yourself, There is a kind of loneliness that comes from being far from yourself. Not from being alone in a room, but from living a life that doesn't feel like yours. I know that feeling well. For years, I was busy building a career, chasing success, and becoming what the world expected me to be. But somewhere along the way, I lost the quiet connection to my own heart.
I remember the moment I realized I needed to come back to myself. I was standing by the sea, watching the waves, and for the first time in a long time, I took a deep breath. That breath felt like coming home.
This painting is about that return. It's about choosing to stay close to yourself — to your feelings, your memories, your own truth. It's a reminder that no matter how far you go, you can always come back.

Before the sea. Before the mountains. Before anything I paint — it starts within me. A feeling. A memory. A quiet thought. This painting is Note 1 of 100. The first note. The beginning of everything.

STORY BEHIND
Anna Salenko has always loved to paint. Born by the deep blue sea, she first picked up a palette knife at twenty, and art became her way of navigating life’s uncertainties. During a long period of struggle and depression, painting evolved from a quiet therapy into an unshakable purpose.
Today, she is an established contemporary artist, with works held in private collections worldwide and featured in Tatler, Elle, and international exhibitions. Her vision is to create textured landscapes that offer pause, peace, and a return to nature — timeless works rooted in honesty, resilience, and the quiet power of being alive.
EXHIBITIONS
Anna Salenko has exhibited her work internationally, with exhibitions in New York, Hong Kong, Milan, Shanghai among them. Her exhibitions are known for their immersive atmosphere, where each space is carefully curated to reflect the emotional world of her textured landscapes.
Her solo shows, including "Fleeting moment" in New York and "Presence" at CICA Museum in South Korea, have drawn attention from collectors and press alike. Her works have been featured in Tatler Asia, Elle Hong Kong, and on Viu TV, and are held in private collections around the world..
TECHNIQUE
Anna Salenko’s work is immediately recognizable through its distinctive use of palette knife and layered impasto. Trained in Russian academic painting, she spent 15 years refining her technique, moving beyond the brush to develop a signature language in acrylics.
Her paintings are built through thick, sculptural strokes, each one carrying multiple colors mixed directly on the canvas. Light interacts with the ridges and shadows, shifting with the viewer’s movement throughout the day. The result is a physical presence that blurs the line between painting and texture — alive, real, and impossible to copy.
Gallery
Anna runs her own gallery full‑time, driven by a vision to bring texture, calm, and a sense of home into people’s lives through her layered impasto landscapes.
