Painting description

"Dream of Venice" is a painting in which dreams intertwine with the intense, fairytale light of Anna Wach's distinctive palette. The golden sky pulsates with reflections of the city on the water, and pastel domes and gondolas emerge like a reminiscence of a bygone carnival. A jester's mask watches over this scene—a symbol of illusion, mystery, and that which is most extraordinary in Venice: the sense that reality intertwines with the world of dreams. At the center of the composition rests a woman with moon-blue skin—naked, serene, completely immersed in her dreamlike world. Her silhouette evokes associations with the night that softly envelops the lagoon, and reflections of light glide across her body like fleeting memories. This figure is embedded in the artist's fairytale mythology: the dreamlike guardian of Venice, the heroine of an intimate, painterly tale. The composition is complemented by geometric motifs, including a subtle checkerboard pattern—one of Anna Wach's recognizable style elements, a symbol of harmony and rhythm that appears in many of her works. "Dream of Venice" is a story about a city suspended between reality and dream. It's about light that evokes nostalgia, the silence of the lagoon at night, and a space where imagination is freed from the everyday. This painting is imbued with emotion, color, and symbolism—a unique offering for the collector seeking narrative, poetic, and magical paintings.
