Artist Profile: Anna Wiechec
Important Living Artist
Biography
Anna Wiechec was born in Krakow, Poland and attended Krakow High School for the Visual Arts. As a young child, she was interested in sculpture. It was everywhere in Krakow – in the churches, in the parks and the public places. By 1989 she moved to Canada and by 1991 had enrolled at the School of Art at the University of Manitoba, where she received her BFA in sculpture in 1996.During her studies, Anna's talent was recognized with the awarding of the Cecil Richards Prize for Figurative Sculpture in 1993, 1994 and 1995.
The artist's preferred subject matter has been the female dancer and the preferred medium, ceramic. She sees these women as strong and disciplined but always graceful. Every detail of flesh, muscle, straining tendons and facial expressions exemplifies a contemporary approach to the realistic female nude. Anna received major commissions in 1994 and 1995 to work in bronze and this has further encouraged her development.
Anna Wiechec has been exhibiting continuously since the 90's. She is represented in numerous private and corporate collections.
