Ana Boulain was born in Lisbon, Portugal. She lived in Madrid, Spain, between 1983 and 1997.
In Madrid, she had the opportunity of being closely involved with the work of some illustrious Portuguese painters, namely Lena Liz, Luis Pinto Coelho, Jacinto Luis and Celeste Maia, who had a marked influence in her growth as a painter as well as technique.
Ana Boulain attended the Art Academy of the Spanish Master, Manuel Arjona, with whom she worked closely. She participated in several collective exhibitions and won several awards which included a First Prize of the Academy. At this stage, her main focus was on oil painting.
In 1997 Ana moved to South Africa. Two years later she attended the Open Window Art Academy in Pretoria where she explored many techniques within the fields of Fine Arts and Printing. In 1999 and 2000, her works were selected to be part of the annual collective exhibitions that took place in the Academy Art Gallery.
A totally new range of influences soared into her style, coming mainly from lecturers and other South African artists she had the opportunity to meet with. Artists such as Chris Diedericks, Diane Victor, Siobhan McCuster, Michelle Krieke, the illustrator Sonija Hendrikse and the renowned South African artist from the Northern Cape Penelope Siopis had a strong influence on her work.
Ana works are shown in several private and public collections around the world. Portugal, Brazil, Spain, Mozambique, South Africa, Guatemala, Guinea-Bissau, Norway and now are already in the United States of America.
One of her most recent commissions was a special work dedicated to Nelson adiba Mandela. The work entitled ife is displayed at the elson Mandela Institute by the request of the Embassy of Portugal as a contribution from the Portuguese Community residing in South Africa.
Since coming to the United States in August 2004, Ana continues her work and is excited by the new challenges and callings that the American Art market presents.
Artist's Perspective
Her artwork translates her journey throughout the world.
In Portugal, where Ana Boulain started to paint, she was fascinated with the clean, simple lines of traditional architecture of the churches and chapels of the south of Portugal where the white and blue are the predominant colors.
Then in Spain she started to approach the human figure which captivated her for being so much alive. The opportunity to express feelings, movements and color, encouraged her to keep painting. By always focusing on the best techniques, this would aid her in expressing what she could see through human nature and the circumstances in which it exists.
While in South Africa, these turned to be even more intriguing. She loves to paint the African skin and explore their rich color and the texture and shape of their hair. Being in the heart of Africa, her approach to the African reality touched her sensibility and she decided to paint their struggle through life.
Now in the United States of America, she is looking forward to new challenges.
