Anna Kõuhkna (b. 1994) is a painter, photographer, illustrator, and art teacher. She graduated with a BA from the Art Department of the Baltic Film and Media School, studied leather art at Tartu Art College, and is currently pursuing a master’s degree in the joint art education program of EAA / TU. She has made several solo exhibitions (eg “Reflections” at the Fahle Gallery 2019; “Floats in His Own Country” at the Gallery Positive 2019) as well as group exhibitions (eg “Trialogue” Castellan House Gallery 2019).

Kõuhkna’s work depicts nature and the female figure, and the themes that the artist explores deal with femininity and being a woman, the inner attitudes, longings, joys, and manifestations that embrace it. In the case of a female figure, it is intentional that the character is partly both a self-portrait of the artist and, by its very nature, universal and more widely interpretable.
