Boats on the river (2021) Painting by Anna Boginskaia

Anna Boginskaia is a contemporary Russian watercolor artist based in Armenia. From an early age, she felt a deep-seated creativity and a passion for artistic expression. Although she was unable to attend art school, she gained her initial lessons in composition, balance, and light through her experiences as a member of a children’s dance group, where she learned these elements on stage rather than on canvas.

After graduating from The Urals Technical University with a major in Physics and Technology, Anna worked as a business analyst in finance. During her spare time, she indulged in polymer clay, scrapbooking, and drawing. Her travels inspired her to capture the beauty of the world through photography.

Returning to her dream of becoming an artist, Anna embraced watercolor painting, which she feels uniquely combines graphic precision with fluidity, reflecting her strong character and love for being in the flow. Her work has been utilized in local projects, including creating printed materials for the Russian Cup in disc golf, content for New Year's Advent boxes, and visual imagery for a family therapy school. Her watercolors are displayed in public spaces such as a linguistic school, a center for personal development and creativity, a therapy school, and a financial company's office. Additionally, her works are part of private collections in Russia, European countries, and the USA.

Anna draws inspiration from everyday life, her family, and her travels. She finds beauty in patterns, textures, colors, light, and shadows, focusing on landscapes, cityscapes, and seascapes. Her aim is to convey emotions on paper, enjoying the act of painting, improvising, and capturing the zen of the moment. Through watercolor art, Anna shares her vision of the world’s beauty.
