"People have always been a source of endless fascination for me. There is something deeply intriguing about the psychology behind how each individual thinks, their unique perspectives, their little quirks, and the essence of their individuality. When I draw, I let instinct guide me in capturing these delicate nuances. My lines, though seemingly simple, are a vessel of complexity: each stroke encapsulates the intensity of emotions and untold stories, a reflection of the energy and strength that resides in every person I encounter. Through this exhibition, I invite you to meet the souls I’ve had the privilege to draw. I hope that my way of seeing and interpreting them conveys not only a visual likeness but also an emotional connection that might make you smile and bring a sense of peace."

A visionary and original thinker, Aniya Defries was born in London in 1982. From an early age, she had the fortune of growing up in creative environments that constantly nurtured her artistic spirit. Defries' work stands out for its eccentric and fresh methodology, which skillfully combines naive innocence with the precision of clean, bold lines, enriched with touches of vivid, simplistic colors. The artist views her works as a reflection of her own personality: direct, uncomplicated, but with a sincere and tangible energy.

In this exhibition, each of Aniya Defries' works becomes a dialogue between the artist and the subject portrayed, a meeting of the simplicity of the line and the complexity of the individual. Each drawing, in its instinctive essence, reflects the intricacy and beauty within each of us, inviting us to look beyond appearances and discover the infinite nuances that make every existence unique.
