Anna Semenova - Visual Artist
Body is a vessel of memories. Movement is a key to translating these memories. My mission is to draw attention to the mindfulness of dance movement practices and somatic methodologies for mental health.
Il n'y pas d'homme intérieur, l'homme est au monde
et c'est dans le monde qu'il se connaît.
Maurice Merleau-Ponty
Anna Semenova is an independent artist from Kyiv, Ukraine. Based in Montreal, Canada. Her main interests are people and how they deal with their traumas throughout their lives. Each new personal story helps discover the beauty and depth of human empathy, to uncover therapeutic methodology for the exact case that helps people become aware of their being.
Anna's practical photography and video editing skills help reveal three main components of human nature in her artworks: physical body, psychological behavior, and spirituality. She started taking pictures at 13 and is a self-taught photographer.
In 2019, she entered Minshar Art College in Tel Aviv, where she studied a course in documentary film production. She took on a wide range of projects related to lifestyle, fashion, commercial advertisement, and film production.
