Anka Haczkiewicz

As Anka likes to put it: "I was born into the gray world of Communism in Poland and then reborn in the color world of Capitalism in the United States." It's an accurate description of the life and enthusiasm that Anka brings to any project or encounter you have with her. She is a modern-day Renaissance woman with Polish roots and an endearing accent. Her main goal as an artist is to tell magical stories through art that brings all her talents together.She exhibits in many cities in Poland, as well as Chicago, New York and now in a town that she likes to call her new home, San Clemente in California.“My Sky Notes is a series of paintings that capture the sky from San Clemente beach ever since I moved to San Clemente from New York back in Feb of 2021. This has been my way to reconnect with myself and nature. In My Sky Notes, I set out to capture the beautiful symphony of emotions that the sky gives us each day. I want to note the feelings and the power that the sky has as an unlimited place in our atmosphere and outer space. I like to think of my work as an impressionist/expressionist. What is fascinating about painting a subject like the sky is the constant change. The sky can tell millions of stories and display a million feelings in minutes and even seconds. Capturing all the emotions with a brush is the most challenging, but when achieved, it’s the most satisfying. I am trying to bring the emotions of the sky to life. The paintings are quick notes - documents of what surrounds us daily - a reminder to look up and connect with the world as time is passing. These notes are my ode to the ever-evaporating nature of humanity and life.”
